These garlic butter and dill flavored potatoes are grilled in a foil packet, making for a simple recipe that is a great alternative to potato salad.

Ingredients

  • 6 to 8 large new potatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Wash potatoes, dry well, and cut into quarters. Place potato pieces in a resealable container or a zip-top bag.

  3. 3

    Mix together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, melted butter, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.

  4. 4

    Pour mixture over potatoes, seal the container, and let marinate for 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Preheat grill to medium heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove potatoes from container and place on a long sheet of aluminum foil. Pour enough of the marinade over potatoes to coat them well, but make sure they are not swimming in it.

  6. 6

    Place another piece of foil on top and crimp the edges together to create a packet. Make 3 small holes on the top of the packet to allow steam to escape while cooking.

  7. 7

    Place potato packet on the grill and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender. Remove packet from grill and let sit for about 5 minutes. Using heat-resistant gloves, carefully unfold aluminum foil, being mindful hot steam will escape. Transfer potatoes to a platter and serve.
