Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, use fresh rosemary, as it enhances the dish significantly. If you don't have rosemary, thyme can be a great substitute. Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated in the garlic and olive oil mixture for consistent flavor. For added depth, consider mixing in some smoked paprika or lemon zest.
Serving Suggestions
These rosemary grilled new potatoes are perfect as a side dish for grilled meats or fish. They pair beautifully with Grecian-Style Chicken or alongside a fresh salad like Cool Summer Pasta Salad. Consider adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of feta cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the potatoes in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking, and cook until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
