Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or Red potatoes cut into 1/2-inch cubes or slices
  • 1 large shallot (approx. 1.8 oz / 50g), thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or melted unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 lemon sliced into thin rounds (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
  2. Combine the cubed potatoes, sliced shallots, and minced garlic in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the potato mixture. Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, then toss until evenly coated.
  4. Tear off four to five large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 12x12 inches). Divide the potato mixture evenly into the center of each sheet. Top with a lemon slice if desired.
  5. Fold the foil sides over the potatoes and crimp the edges tightly to create a sealed pouch, leaving space inside for steam circulation.
  6. Place the packets directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for 25 to 30 minutes.
  7. Carefully open one packet to check for doneness; ensure potatoes are fork-tender and browned on the bottom.
  8. Remove from the grill and let sit for 2 minutes. Carefully open the packets to avoid steam burns and serve immediately.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've found that if I'm out of shallots, a quarter cup of finely diced red onion works beautifully here, adding a lovely, mild sharpness.
