Garlic Herb Sous Vide Potatoes

I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve made these garlic herb sous vide potatoes in the last week or two. The weather has been nice and that meant grilling. I was looking for an easy side. Now, I didn’t make these potatoes on the grill, but I did finish them there. You can finish them in a skillet on the stovetop too. Either way, they’re packed with a wonderful garlic and herb flavors.

The perfect side dish

The potatoes are cooked perfectly. They’re velvety creamy inside. Finishing them off over high heat adds a nice crunchy layer. These potatoes make for a great side dish.

Garlic Herb Sous Vide Potatoes

As written, the amounts of dried herbs used infuse a good amount of flavor into these garlic herb sous vide potatoes. We like our potatoes to pack flavor. If you’re a little on the ‘less is more’ side when it comes to dried herbs, I’d suggest using slightly less thyme and oregano. You can change your mind and add a bit more when you are browning the potatoes after they’re cooked.

If you prefer to finish the potatoes on a grill, no problem! Just use a cast iron skillet or griddle over direct high heat.

I use an Anova sous vide cooker. It’s my immersion circulator workhorse!

Slow Cooker Kielbasa Sauerkraut and Potato Soup

It was cold. Darned cold. And windy. Just yucky out. But it was nice inside because I had a big ole batch of slow cooker kielbasa and sauerkraut and potato soup. Yeah it’s a mouthful to say, but it’s great German-inspired comfort food at its best. Nothing fancy. Great kraut flavor, but not so overpowering. Tender potatoes that soak up lots of flavor after hours and hours in the slow cooker. Kielbasa sausage.in every bite. Yes, every bite! Like I said, nothing fancy. Just good.

Winter 0 Me 1

If you’re not a big fan of caraway seeds you can actually leave them out and still have a great tasting slow cooker kielbasa sauerkraut and potato soup. Trust me. My wife isn’t a fan of them, so I had to omit them. This despite the fact that it pained the German in me greatly.

I used Russet potatoes because they are my favorite and I always have a big bag of them on hand. You can substitute other potatoes. Just make sure that the potatoes are all about the same size so they cook in the same time. If you use smaller potatoes you might have to reduce the cook time a little.

Grilled Baby Potatoes

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.

Grilled Baby Potatoes

Any Vegetable Will Do!

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.

Garlic-Roasted Potatoes

Oh my goodness I so loved these garlic-roasted potatoes. Tender, almost buttery, yellow potatoes with a hint of garlic and rosemary, drizzled with an incredible balsamic vinegar reduction. I almost added red pepper flake (and you could, really) but I opted for a slightly sweeter no-heat version instead. Red potatoes would work just as well.

Garlic-Roasted Potatoes

Potatoes Elevated

You can make the reduction ahead of time. I recommend making extra and keeping it on hand. Then, any time you need a quick and easy side when grilling, just toss the potatoes on and in no time you’ll have a big helping of garlic-roasted potatoes.

The reduction does take a bit of time to make. You gotta do it and you gotta have patience. It’s what really sets these potatoes apart from every other potato you’ve made or had.

A grill basket is an almost must-have for dishes like this. It makes cooking and cleanup a breeze!

Instructions

  • Fire up your grill for indirect cooking.
  • Place the potatoes into a large microwavable bowl and microwave on high until just starting to soften, about 10 minutes, stopping to stir every once in a while. Remove the bowl carefully as it will be hot.
  • Combine 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the garlic, salt and pepper and the rosemary. Pour over the potatoes and toss to coat.
  • Transfer potatoes to a grill basket (I put the basket over a plate or bowl to catch any dripping oil mixture), or thread them onto skewers.
  • Place onto the grill and grill until lightly charred, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, turning occasionally
  • Meanwhile, pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan over high heat and reduce until you are left with two tablespoons, stirring often.
  • Pour remaining olive oil onto a serving platter and spread out evenly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Add the potatoes.
  • Drizzle with the reduce balsamic vinegar and serve.

Grilled Chive Potatoes

Well now, these little bites of yumminess didn’t last long. Grilled chive potatoes didn’t take long to make either. Creamy and tender inside, the potatoes had nice crispy skin. Covered in butter and chives, with just a hint of lemon,  each one was sooooo good. I grilled the potatoes, but you can make them in the oven just as easily. I used baby potatoes but fingerlings would be just as great, just as creamy!

Grilled Chive Potatoes

Perfect As They Are

What will I do different next time I grill some grilled chive potatoes? Probably nothing. Oh I might add a pinch of red pepper flake but that’s it. They don’t need anything else. Doubling the recipe would be a good idea. The potatoes are really great leftover. I like to heat a bit of oil in a cast iron skillet and get it real hot. Add the potatoes and get them warmed up. They get a nice additional crunch to them!

I recommend that you use a grill basket when making this dish. I makes cooking easier and you don’t have to worry about anything falling through the grates. And cleanup is easier too!

Mississippi Mud Cheesy Potatoes

I’m lucky in that I usually love darn near everything I make. These Mississippi Mud cheesy potatoes are definitely no exception. In fact, love may be an understatement. My wife and I both devoured them. You just can’t beat the tender potatoes, ooey gooey cheese, crunchy smoky bacon, and green onions. It’s a lot like having a loaded baked potato, and yep, you guessed it, I love loaded baked potatoes too.

Mississippi Mud Cheesy Potatoes

Spice ‘Em Up

The only possible change (and really, it’s a stretch perhaps) I would make to these Mississippi Mud cheesy potatoes would be to add a roasted jalapeno or two. Actually, that’s not a stretch at all. Or maybe a pinch or two of smoked paprika or chipotle powder. Yeah, I’m going that for sure now! It’s not that this dish NEEDS some spicy kick to it. It’s that I like things with a little heat more that things without it. So why not add just a bit? I figure anything I would add to a bake potato, I can add here too!

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Melting Potatoes

Buttery creamy goodness. I could not have been happier with these melting potatoes. So good, so easy, and boy, did I ever eat more than my share. And then some. Good thing it was just my wife and me, because I would’ve had to explain where all the potatoes went if we would’ve had company over for dinner. This is one of those dishes where half of them never make it to the table because you’ve eaten much of them in the kitchen.

Melting Potatoes

Keep The Ketchup Far Away

If you’re normally tempted to put ketchup on your potatoes, don’t. These potatoes are absolutely perfect just as they are.

Yukon potatoes are the best potatoes by far for making melting potatoes. They are so tender and velvety. They get just a little golden brown crunchy edge to them. Just enough to contrast the tender insides.

You can use a knife to cut the potatoes. Or if you have a mandolin, use it instead to make quick work of slicing them. You want the slices to be pretty much the same thickness throughout so that they cook evenly.

Hash Browns on the Cuisinart Griddler

Oh how I do love hash browns. Specially the hash browns that are cooked until crispy on an old flat-top griddle. Nice and golden brown. I don’t have a big diner griddle (yet), but I do have the Cuisinart Griddler, which makes fantastic hash browns. There’s nothing fru-fru about them, just great taste and texture.

Hash Browns on the Cuisinart Griddler

Toppings Optional

Don’t laugh, but I like to serve my hash browns with butter. Yep, butter. I know that’s not normal. Most folks like ketchup or hot sauce. I always butter potatoes, no matter if they’re roasted, tater tots, or hash browns. I do draw the line at putting butter onto French fries, though. These Hash Browns on the Cuisinart Griddler come out super crispy, which makes them scream for butter in my mind!

  • Place the potatoes and onion in a bowl full of cold water. Soak for 5 minutes, drain, and fill again. Soak again for 5 minutes and drain. Continue rinsing and draining until the water no longer turns milky from the potato started.
  • Install the flat cooking plates on your Griddler and open the Griddler flat so you can cook on both plates at once.
  • Set your Griddler Selector to ‘Griddle’ and the Griddle temperature to 425 F.
  • Note that the top plate seems to not get as hot.
  • Drain potatoes well then toss with the oil, salt and pepper.
  • Divide the potatoes between the Griddler plates and spread out evenly.
  • Do not mess with the potatoes, let them cook for about 20 minutes or until you notice they are starting to turn golden brown on the bottom.Note that the top plate seems to not get as hot so the potatoes there may take longer to cook.
  • Carefully flip the potatoes and cook another 20 minutes or until they are nice and golden brown and are as crispy as you like them.
  • Serve hot with more salt and pepper, ketchup, or whatever you desire.

Grilled Potatoes with Mustard-Garlic Dressing

There aren’t a lot of grilled sides that I prefer just as much as the grilled main dish at a meal. The mustard-garlic dressing on these grilled potatoes really hit a note for me. Tender, buttery potatoes contrasted with tangy mustard and vinegar. I found the combination to be perfect, and easy to make to boot. This is the kind of dish that changes my mind about side dishes not being just as important as the main dish.

Grilled Potatoes with Mustard-Garlic Dressing

Good Mustard Makes For Great Potatoes

A good quality mustard is what really makes these potatoes special. My wife and I recently ran across The Mustard Man at an event at the Jungle Jim’s market in Fairfield, OH. After sampling each of the mustards I instantly picked up a bottle of each one. They are truly fantastic. Instead of whole grain mustard, I used The Mustard Man’s Simply Peppered mustard in the dressing for these grilled potatoes with mustard-garlic dressing. The light peppery flavor brought a nice little bite.

  • Fire up your grill for medium-high cooking.
  • Toss the potatoes with a little oil. Season with salt and pepper and add to a grill basket. Note: I put the grill basket over a sheet pan so that any excess oil drips off.
  • Place the basket onto the grill and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring gently, or until the potatoes are done and have a light char.
  • Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and drizzle with the dressing. Toss to coat.
  • Serve garnished with the chopped parsley.

Bacon-Wrapped Mexican Potatoes

Boy, crispy bacon… spicy Mexican chorizo sausage… cheese… I could actually just have these bacon-wrapped Mexican potatoes for dinner. By themselves. Nothing else. Just give me a platter of them and check on me in 15 minutes to see if I need more. Well, not ‘if’. Go ahead and bring me some more. They’re like grilled potato skins taken to a whole new level. There is so much flavor packed into every bite. What a happy day it was when I first made them!

Bacon-Wrapped Mexican Potatoes

Chorizo Adds Lots of Flavor

I love the spicy kick from chorizo in these bacon-wrapped Mexican potatoes. But, if you don’t, you can easily change these potatoes up to be a little more mellow by making them Italian-style. Substitute crumbled cooked mild Italian sausage for the chorizo, mozzarella for the queso fresco, and sour cream for the crema. Excellent! You’ll want to make a big batch and serve them as appetizers at your next party!

I recommend that you use a grill basket when making this dish. It makes cooking easier and you don’t have to worry about anything falling through the grates. And cleanup is easier too!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 F.
  • Brush potatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast until tender, 20-30 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  • Fire up your grill for indirect cooking (you can also make these in the oven, so keep your oven going if you’re going to cook these indoors).
  • Meanwhile, crumble the chorizo into a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until browned. Remove from heat. Note: You want to get the chorizo fairly well crumbled. If you are having trouble doing so, just let the cooked chorizo cool a bit then pulss a few times in a food processor.
  • Cut just enough of the bottom of each potato so that they can stand up straight. Then cut just enough off the top so you can scoop them out. Take a small mellon baller or spoon and spoon out the insides.
  • In a bowl combine the chorizo and cheese and spoon into each potato.
  • Wrap a halved piece of bacon around each potato and secure with a toothpick.
  • Place on the grill over indirect heat and cook until the bacon starts to crisp, about 20 minutes, or bake in the oven at 425 F.
  • Serve topped with a small dollop of Mexican crema or cream cheese and garnish with green onions or cilantro.
