Grilled Red Baby Potatoes With Garlic Infused Oil Recipes

GRILLED BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to 375-400
• Microwave the baby potatoes for about 8 minutes to soften.
• Peel the shallots and cut in half. Clean and cut the red pepper and cut into larger chunks.
• Combine olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic into a bowl and stir.
• Add the potatoes, peppers and shallots to the olive oil mixture and toss. I use a Ziploc bag to work the coating. Place on skewers to grill. Don't place on the grill until the grill has reached the temperature of 375-400 though.
• Grill for about 5-7 minutes. Since these have been pre-cooked in the microwave, you don't need much time at all. Sprinkle with chives after removing from the grill. You can add rosemary, thyme and sage, if you like to beef up the herb flavor. The olive oil will catch the herbs and make it stick to the potatoes.

GRILLED RED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Scrub the potatoes but do not peel them.
• Place the potatoes in the microwave oven and cook on high for 4 minutes, until slightly soft. Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes, then cut in half. Place the potatoes in a plastic bag and drizzle with the olive oil and garlic, then sprinkle with the salt. Twist the bag to seal, allowing some of the air to remain in the bag. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.
• Remove the potatoes from the bag, place on the grill for 5 minutes. Turn the potatoes and continue to grill for 5 more minutes. Turn the potatoes again and grill for about 5 additional minutes on each side, until the potatoes are fork-tender and lightly browned.

LEMON AND GARLIC GRILLED BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into small chunks.
• In a bowl, toss the potatoes with oil, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon juice onto the potatoes, then place the rind halves on top. (Can pre-cook potatoes in microwave for about 5 minutes) (May need to add more olive oil)
• Preheat grill. Place potatoes in a small roasting pan or double thickness tin foil pans that have been sprayed with Pam, add the potatoes. Place on grill. Cook until tender, 20 - 30 minutes, stirring so all pieces cook evenly.
• Remove from heat. Remove lemon rind and bay leaves. Add butter and dill and incorporate evenly. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Note: Instead of fresh herbs, you can use 1 tsp dried.
