It’s getting hot out. That’s when I try to cook every meal outside, from appetizers to desserts and everything in between. I’m always on the lookout for a good tasty side dish that I can throw on the grill. Like these grill-roasted herb potatoes. They have a great herb flavor. But to really make them great, they’re cooked with (and topped with) French-fried onions. The added crunch and onion flavor really makes the potatoes shine. If you’re grilling a good thick steak, this is the side you’re looking for to complete your meat-and-potatoes meal.
There’s No Shortage Of Flavor Here!
You could substitute any herb you have on hand for the thyme, such as rosemary or dill and these grill-roasted herb potatoes will still be fantastic. For me, thyme is a nice gentle-tasting herb to use. It’s not too overpowering yet I’m definitely still going to taste it.
And though the fried onions could be omitted, they add a great onion flavor along with a nice crunch to compliment the creamy soft potatoes.
Also try my smoke-roasted potatoes and my wife’s favorite, Parmesan broccoli potatoes.

Instead of olive oil, when I roast potatoes I use this roasted almond oil.

For me, the flavor harmonizes beautifully.
