Ingredients

  • 56 oz baby potatoes 2 - 28oz bags
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 6-8 large garlic cloves, cracked
  • 1 large gallon zip bag

Instructions

  • Parboil the potatoes in a large pot of water that covers the potatoes by at least one inch and 1 teaspoon of salt.
    56 oz baby potatoes
  • Boil them about 10 minutes, or until fork or knife can be inserted in but with some resistance ( this will vary depending on the size of the potatoes)
  • Remove from the heat and drain thoroughly.
  • Allow cooling to a just warm, not hot.
  • Place the potatoes in a zip-top bag.
  • Pour in the oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper.
    1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped, 2 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, divided, 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, 6-8 large garlic cloves, cracked, 1 large gallon zip bag
  • Seal the bag, shake and massage around to distribute the oil and herbs all over the potatoes.
  • Leave to marinate for as long as you can but at least 2 hours. I just leave them on the counter.
  • When you are ready to cook the potatoes, remove from the bag and thread onto skewers.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, 400 degrees F.
  • Place on the grill and cook for around 20 - 30 minutes, turning as needed.
  • Once golden brown, very soft and slightly charred, remove from the grill and serve.

Notes

Choose similar size potatoes. You want them to cook evenly.
Don’t overcook the potatoes during parboiling. You want them firm enough to slide on the skewers without breaking.
Storing - Place completely cooled potatoes in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. See the post for ways to use leftover potatoes.
