Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Toppings
- 1/3 to ½ cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (dill, parsley, basil, oregano, or your favorite)
- 1 handful arugula microgreens
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to the highest heat, allowing it to reach over 500 degrees Fahrenheit by heating for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare Potatoes: While the grill heats, layer two sheets of foil and fold up the edges to form a barrier. Place the halved potatoes in the foil pack, drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat all potatoes evenly. Place the foil pack on a baking sheet for easy transport.
- Grill Potatoes: Place the foil pack on the hot grill without covering the top with foil. Arrange most potatoes cut-side down to achieve a crispy surface. Grill for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing every five minutes until potatoes are fork tender and slightly crisp.
- Add Cheese and Herbs: Once tender, sprinkle the crumbled gorgonzola over the potatoes. Close the grill to cover and let the cheese melt for 1 minute. Remove the foil pack from the grill and transfer to the baking sheet. Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs on top.
- Serve: Top with chopped chives and a handful of arugula microgreens, then serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use baby Yukon gold potatoes for their creamy texture and thin skins that grill well.
- Adjust olive oil amount based on desired crispiness and moisture.
- Mix and match fresh herbs to customize flavor according to your preference.
- You can substitute gorgonzola with blue cheese or feta if desired.
- Be careful when handling hot foil packs to avoid burns; use tongs or gloves.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan or bake in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes.
