Preparation: 8 mins
Cooking Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 28 mins
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 teaspoons of salt
- 1 1/2 pounds of fingerling potatoes
- halved lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of granulated garlic
- 1 lemon, halved
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh Italian parsley
Method:
1, Ensure that the grill is ready with a two-zone fire, creating medium-high heat ranging from 375º to 425º F.
2. In a large pot on the stovetop, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and the sliced potatoes to the boiling water. Cook until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a knife, usually around 6-9 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander and set them aside.
3. Transfer the parboiled potatoes to a bowl. Toss them with olive oil, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and granulated garlic.
4. Place the potatoes cut side down on the grill, directly over the heat. Grill until they become lightly charred, approximately 3 minutes. Flip the potatoes and grill for an additional 3 minutes. Simultaneously, grill the halved lemon, flesh side down, until it gets beautifully charred, roughly 3 minutes.
5. Remove the grilled potatoes and lemon from the heat. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl. Squeeze the grilled lemon juice over the potatoes and give them a gentle toss. Lastly, garnish with freshly chopped Italian parsley and serve.
Remember, these grilled fingerling potatoes complement grilled steak superbly. Their tantalizing flavors combined with the smoky goodness of the grill will make them an irresistible side dish. Enjoy!
