Grilled Potatoes And Olives Recipes

GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Rinse and dry the potatoes (no need to peel). Cut crosswise into ½-inch slices (if your potatoes are smaller than a golf ball, you can halve or quarter them). Place in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, stir together the rosemary, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.
• Drizzle the potatoes with the oil, then sprinkle the spices over the top. Toss to evenly coat.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high (about 375 to 400 degrees F).
• Place two large (about 22 to 24 inches long) sheets of heavy-duty foil down on a large baking sheet (you'll use the baking sheet for easy transport) so that the foil pieces are slightly overlapping down the center to create a wider sheet. Coat with non-stick spray. Spread the potatoes onto the foil in a single layer (if you prefer not to have the food touch the foil, you can add a layer of parchment in between). Place two more overlapping sheets of foil on top, then fold up the edges all the way around to seal and create a packet. Leave some space towards the top of the packet to allow the air to circulate.
• Using the baking sheet, carry the potatoes out to the grill, then with tongs slide the packet onto the grill. Cover then cook for 15 minutes.
• Carefully open the foil then use the tongs to flip the potatoes over. They should be deeply golden on the first side (if not, continue to cook them for 3 to 5 minutes more). Place the foil loosely back over the top, close the grill, and cook for 5 to 10 additional minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pieced with a fork.
• Slide the potato packet back onto the baking sheet, then transfer them to a serving bowl (or serve them right off of the foil). Serve warm, with a sprinkle of Parmesan and chopped fresh herbs as desired.

GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat and oil the grates with cooking spray.
• Add the sliced potatoes to a rimmed tray or baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Pour 1/2 cup Garlic Oil over the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Add the potatoes to the hot grill, then brush with the remaining oil mixture. Grill, flipping the potatoes once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
• Mash together the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt with a knife or bench scraper on a cutting board until it is a paste. Add the garlic to a small saucepan with the oil, chives, parsley, lemon juice and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium-low heat until the ingredients have combined, 3 to 4 minutes. Use as a marinade for potatoes, brush on rolls before toasting or brush on proteins for extra flavor.

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• Add the potatoes to a large pot and fill with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and add salt. Cook the potatoes until just tender. Drain well.
• Add the cooked potatoes to a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Divide the potatoes between sheets of tin foil and wrap well. Place on grill and cook until the potatoes are very tender, about 10 minutes.

QUICK AND EASY GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Poke each potato with the tines of a fork. Place the potatoes in a microwave oven, and cook on high power for about 5 minutes. Check about halfway through, and turn potatoes over for even cooking. Slice each potato in half the long way and cook potatoes another 2 minutes on high power.
• Preheat a grill for medium heat.
• Brush the potato tops with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook on prepared grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once.

GRILLED FINGERLING POTATO SALAD WITH FETA, GREEN BEANS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the haricot vert until al dente, about 90 seconds. Shock in ice water, drain well, chop in halves or thirds and reserve.
• Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with 2 inches cold water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a small knife inserted into the center of the potato meets with some resistance, about 5 minutes. Drain well, place on a baking sheet and let cool slightly. Halve lengthwise.
• Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey and salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
• Heat the grill to medium heat. Toss the potatoes with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown in spots, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove and toss with some of the vinaigrette.
• Combine the potatoes, green beans, feta cheese, olives and oregano in a bowl. Toss with more of the vinaigrette, taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Scatter the parsley leaves over the top and drizzle with a bit more olive oil.

GRILLED POTATOES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Toss 1 1/2 pounds small fingerling potatoes, 3 smashed unpeeled garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons each olive oil and chopped rosemary, 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, wide zest strips from 1 lemon, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Fold in the sides of the foil and seal to make a packet. Grill over high heat, flipping, until the potatoes are tender, 25 minutes.
