Grilled Potatoes

Ingredients

If you’re tired of the same old potato sides, let me introduce you to the magic of grilled potatoes. This method gives you crisp, golden edges with a soft, tender center—ideal for serving alongside grilled meats or fresh summer salads.

Cooking Steps

  • 1
    Boil the Potatoes:
  • 2
    In a large pot, boil the red potatoes until they are tender but still firm.

    Use red potatoes—they hold their shape and grill beautifully.
