🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Gently scrub the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut them into roughly 1-inch pieces for even cooking. If using baby potatoes, you can leave them whole.
- Boil the Potatoes: Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. They should be easily pierced with a fork but not mushy.
- Drain the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are tender, carefully drain them in a colander. Give them a gentle shake to remove any excess water. Return the potatoes to the now-empty pot.
- Season and Toss: In the pot with the drained potatoes, add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350-400°F or 175-200°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. This step's important, trust me!
- Grill the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes directly on the grill grates in a single layer. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally with tongs to ensure they brown evenly on all sides. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Add BBQ Sauce: Once the potatoes are nicely grilled and slightly charred, remove them from the grill and place them in a mixing bowl. Pour your favorite BBQ sauce over the potatoes. I usually pour about ¾ of a cup over it. Toss gently to coat them evenly.
- Grill Again (Optional): For an extra layer of flavor and a stickier finish, return the BBQ-coated potatoes to the grill for another 2-3 minutes. Watch them very carefully to prevent the sauce from burning. This step is optional, but I highly recommend it!
- Serve: Remove the potatoes from the grill and serve immediately. They make a fantastic side dish to grilled chicken, ribs, or any other BBQ favorites. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
📝 Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
- Feel free to use your favorite BBQ sauce – sweet, smoky, or tangy all work well.
