Grillin’ Up the Best Potatoes Ever — Seriously!

They’re golden, smoky, and just begging for a spot on your plate. Trust me, once you try these, you’ll be makin’ them constantly, and your friends will be like, “Dude, how do you make potatoes taste like this?!”

The finished dish — looks amazing, right?

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, so picture this: you’re at the store—bumping into the cart of that friendly neighbor (you know the one?)—and you’re like, “I need potatoes.” Grab yourself a pound of russet potatoes (or whatever looks good, I’m not judging). You’ll also need a medium onion, six garlic cloves (you can never have enough garlic, right?), olive oil (extra virgin if you’re feelin’ fancy), crushed dried rosemary (get that herb smell goin’), smoked paprika (the secret star!), salt, and black pepper. It’s a simple lineup, but when they come together? *Chef’s kiss!*

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Alright, tiny backstory! So, I was at a BBQ last summer, and everyone was raving about these grilled potatoes. I was like, “What’s the big deal?” I took a bite, and it felt like a flavor explosion! I’m tellin’ ya, they were perfectly tender, smoky, with just the right amount of garlic goodness. I practically begged for the recipe. Now, every time I fire up the grill (which is basically every weekend), these bad boys are *always* on the menu. They’ve become my go-to side dish, and honestly, they steal the show every time.

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, listen closely: wrap those potatoes tightly in foil, but don’t just scrunch them up! You wanna make sure they’re snug but not like a straight jacket. That way, the steam can work its magic while they’re grillin’. It’s like giving them a cozy little sauna experience. And trust me, you want that — it’s what makes them tender and fabulous.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Check the grill temp. Medium heat is key! Too hot, and they’ll burn before they cook through. Too low, and they’ll just sit there, sad and raw.
2. Flip the package halfway. Seriously, this is crucial! Otherwise, one side will be all nice and brown while the other’s like, “I’m still a potato.”
3. Use heavy-duty foil. I’ve learned this the hard way. Regular foil can tear, and then you’ve got a potato explosion, and no one wants that mess.
4. Don’t forget to taste! I mean, how do you know if they need more salt or seasoning? Just be careful of the steam when you open it up…trust me, it’s hot!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

If you somehow have leftovers (which is rare because they’re THAT good), let them cool down a bit. Pop ‘em in an airtight container and stick ’em in the fridge. They’ll last a few days, but honestly, just reheat them in the oven or on the stovetop instead of the microwave. You want that crispiness back, am I right?

  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • Instructions

    4. Using 2 pieces of foil (each 24 inches long), form an X by overlapping the foil.
    5. Place the potato mixture in the middle of the X, arranging so that it is an even height. Wrap the pieces of foil over the potato mixture, pinching the foil to seal.
