Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds baby (1 to 2-inch long) potatoes, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks

Steps:

  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place a 24-inch long piece of aluminum foil on a flat work surface. Spread potatoes onto the middle of the foil. Drizzle vinegar and olive oil over the potatoes; season with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dot the top of the potatoes with small chunks of butter.
  • Bring opposing sides of the foil up and around the potatoes. Fold the two edges together at the top to create a seam on the top of the packet. Fold the remaining two edges to seal the packet.
  • Cook potatoes in the packet on the preheated grill with the seam-side facing up for about 10 minutes, turn and cook another 10 minutes. Turn the packet once again and continue cooking until a fork stuck through the foil and into the potatoes meet no resistance from the contents, about 5 minutes more.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

30 baby potatoes (1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter; 1 3/4 lb total)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Special Equipment
12 (6- to 8-inch) woody rosemary stems or bamboo skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes by 1 inch in cold water in a 4-quart pot, then add 1 tablespoon kosher salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are just tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes in a colander and transfer to a large shallow pan to cool quickly.
  • If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
  • Meanwhile, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining teaspoon kosher salt, then push 2 or 3 potatoes onto each rosemary stem.
  • Grill potato skewers directly over coals, turning over occasionally with tongs, until grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes total.
  • Transfer potatoes to a platter and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil.

Grilled Baby Potatoes with Mojo Verde Sauce image

Tender potatoes grilled until golden and tossed with a spicy cilantro-serrano pepper sauce. Such a fun side dish for spring and summer.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes or baby potatoes (scrubbed)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups fresh cilantro leaves + a few more leaves for garnish
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
1 serrano pepper (seeded and roughly minced)
2 large cloves garlic (roughly minced)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar or honey (if not vegan, optional)

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes: Scrub the potatoes and place them in a large pot of salted water. Place on the stove over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until just fork tender (they shouldn't be 100% cooked). Remove from heat and run under cold water. Set aside to cool the rest of the way.
  • Make the mojo verde: Add all ingredients to the bowl of a small food processor. Puree. Taste and add additional salt if desired. If it seems too acid, you can add a bit of sugar or honey as noted in the ingredients to tame it. Note: I have made the sauce in my blender as well, but I find there's not quite enough sauce to blend well. Another option is to double or triple the sauce and then refrigerate the remainder for later on.
  • Grill the potatoes. Preheat your grill on medium-high, about 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the potatoes in half and place in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently.
  • Lay potatoes flat-side down on the grill. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Test with a fork to make sure they're tender. Transfer potatoes from grill back to the bowl. Pour the sauce over the top. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with additional cilantro leaves and serve.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Choose small, firm baby potatoes that are about 1 to 2 inches in diameter. Avoid potatoes that have blemishes or sprouts.
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Parboil the potatoes: Boiling the potatoes for a few minutes before grilling helps them cook more evenly and prevents them from becoming dry.
  • Toss the potatoes in oil and seasonings: This will help them brown and caramelize on the grill.
  • Grill the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Flip the potatoes occasionally: This will ensure that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Grilled baby potatoes are best served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Grilled baby potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for picnics, potlucks, and backyard barbecues. With a little planning and preparation, you can make grilled baby potatoes that are sure to impress your family and friends.
