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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Baby potatoes are the best choice for this recipe, as they cook quickly and evenly. Look for small, firm potatoes that are about 1-2 inches in diameter.
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Parboil the potatoes: Parboiling the potatoes helps to cook them through evenly and prevents them from becoming dry. To parboil the potatoes, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Drain the potatoes: Once the potatoes are parboiled, drain them in a colander and allow them to cool slightly.
  • Make the mojo verde sauce: While the potatoes are cooling, make the mojo verde sauce. To make the sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Grill the potatoes: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the potatoes for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and tender.
  • Serve the potatoes: Serve the potatoes immediately, topped with the mojo verde sauce.

Conclusion:

These Grilled Baby Potatoes with Mojo Verde Sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The potatoes are tender and flavorful, and the mojo verde sauce adds a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
