Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 2 pound baby Yukon gold potatoes halved if larger than 1.5 inches
▢ 2 tablespoon olive oil
▢ 1 teaspoon kosher salt
▢ 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
▢ 1 teaspoon garlic powder
▢ 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
▢ 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
▢ 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
▢ 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat grill to medium-high heat, about 400 to 425 F. Clean and oil the grates.
Place potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and parboil until just fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well and let steam-dry 2 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried thyme until evenly coated.
Transfer potatoes to a grill basket or thread onto skewers. If using red pepper flakes, sprinkle them on now.
Grill, turning occasionally, until golden with charred spots and tender throughout, 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove from grill, toss with chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

For small potatoes, a grill basket or heavy-duty foil packet keeps them from falling through the grates. Add 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon right before serving for a bright finish.
