Grilled baby potatoes are one of my favorite grilled side dishes. The potatoes come out tender in the middle, with just a slight crust on the outside. For me, yellow potatoes are the best since they also taste a bit buttery. All you need is a few spices out of the pantry and in no time you have perfect potatoes with a hint of garlic, a hint of smoke, and just a nice subtle spiciness to offset some of the potato sweetness.
You can use this recipe for grilled baby potatoes for just about any grilled vegetable, from broccoli to cauliflower to asparagus. You can skip partially cooking smaller vegetables in the microwave since they will grill quickly. Just check that they are nice and tender before removing from the grill.
I use a grill basket for cooking these potatoes.
Also try my grilled potatoes with mustard-garlic dressing.
This recipe was inspired by a recipe from Alton Brown.
