Grilled Red Potatoes





This recipe is awesome. It's really easy, too. This side works great with grilled chicken, steak-really anything grilled.

Ingredients:
1 lb red potatoes (the really small ones are the best)
1/4 cup olive oil
9 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 teaspoon salt (I think it needs a little more)

Wash the red potatoes. Cut in half-if the potatoes are large, cut them in more pieces. We had really big red potatoes so I cut them in eighths. Place the potatoes onto wooden skewers all facing the same way. Place on a plate in a single layer. Poke the potatoes with a fork. Set aside.

Heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, salt, and rosemary. Cook for about 3 minutes. Basically you are infusing the oil with the flavors. Strain the mixture. Reserve 1 TBSP solids and oil in a separate bowl (it works best to just put it right into the serving bowl). Discard the remaining solids.



Brush the potatoes with the infused oil. Cook in the microwave for 8 minutes. They should be almost done.

Grill over a medium-high heat until potatoes are completely cooked, about 10 minutes.




Take the potatoes off the skewers and toss with the reserved oil and solids.


And enjoy!
