Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl; stir potatoes to coat.
- Wrap potatoes in two 12-inch square foil pouches, sealing all edges.
- Grill over medium flame for 15 to 18 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or parsley alongside the rosemary. For a spicier kick, incorporate crushed red pepper flakes. If you don’t have wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar is a great substitute. Ensure the foil pouches are tightly sealed to keep moisture in while cooking, resulting in tender potatoes. Experiment with different types of potatoes for varied textures.
Serving Suggestions
These garlic potatoes are perfect as a side dish for grilled meats or alongside a fresh salad. Serve them with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for added creaminess, or pair them with a light vinaigrette. They also complement other dishes like Canned Steak or can be enjoyed on their own as a satisfying snack.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover garlic potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave them for a quicker option, but the oven will help retain their crisp texture.
