SMOKY POTATO GRATIN (FOR BBQ)
DH and I made this recipe on the BBQ last night to accompany Grill Roasted Chicken with Chimichurri Rojo. From Williams-Sonoma. We enjoyed the potatoes very much. We easily halved the recipe, but still used 2 garlic cloves. We also used salted butter and this was fine.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Salt the water. Add the potato slices and cook until they are slightly softened but not completely tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the potatoes well and let cool.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for indirect grilling over medium-high heat.
- Using the side of a chef's knife, smash the garlic cloves and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Continue smashing and scraping the garlic into a paste.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic paste, parsley and thyme, and season with salt and pepper.
- Spray a mesh grill pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place 2 potato slices in the center of the grill pan, then create 2 separate rings of potato slices: Starting with the inner ring, arrange the slices, slightly overlapping the center slices as well as the previous slice, to create a fanned effect. Then form an outer ring of potato slices, slightly overlapping the inner ring.
- Brush the first layer of potatoes with some of the garlic-herb butter and season with salt and pepper. Repeat to create a second layer on top of the first one. Brush the top layer with garlic-herb butter and season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the grill pan to the center of the grill and cover the grill. Cook, basting the potatoes with garlic-herb butter every 10 minutes, until they are tender and browned on top, 35 to 45 minutes.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my gratin turned out really watery. The potatoes were undercooked and the cheese didn't melt properly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

[email protected]This gratin was delicious! I made it for a potluck and it was a huge hit. The potatoes were creamy and the cheese was melted and gooey. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

[email protected]Just made this gratin for dinner and it was amazing! The potatoes were perfectly cooked and the cheese was melted and bubbly. I added a little bit of chopped bacon to the top and it was the perfect touch. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

[email protected]This potato gratin was a hit at our last BBQ! It was super easy to make and SO delicious. I loved the smoky flavor from the paprika and the gooey cheese on top. My guests couldn't get enough of it. I'll definitely be making this again soon!
