Baby potatoes have such tremendous potato flavor. And they cook very quickly, making them great to make on the grill, like these spicy roasted baby potatoes. These little bites-of-nothing-but-goodness pack some mighty nice kick. Just like I like it. And don’t fear the spicy, either. We’re not talking ‘oh my! my mouth is on fire’ spicy. There’s just enough to wake up your taste buds.
You can substitute fingerling potatoes too, just make sure they are all about the same size or they won’t cook evenly. You want tender, tasty baby potatoes. You don’t want to bite into a hard potato. Ever. The more they are the same size, the better they’ll be!
Add A Little Smokiness
For a little smokiness in your spicy roasted baby potatoes, substitute chipotle powder for the chili powder. You’ll still get a nice kick. And you’ll get just the right hint of smoke. If you’re cooking these on a gas grill, people will think you used charcoal or wood!
