Grilled Potatoes

Chop about 3 tablespoons of garlic and a tablespoon of fresh rosemary. Add to 4 or so tablespoons of Extra virgin olive oil with some salt and put in a small pan over medium heat. When just sizzling, about 3 minutes, turn down to medium low for another 3 or so minutes until garlic is just blonde. Do not brown.

Remove from heat and strain solids from liquids. Put one tablespoon oil and one tablespoon solids into small dish and hold on side.

Brush potatoes with 1 T garlic oil, sprinkle with salt and microwave for 4 minutes. Turn over and zap for another 4 minutes. Should be just getting tender.

Brush with remaining garlic oil and put over medium hot grill for 3-4 minutes and turn for another 3-4 until grill marks appear. Move to cool side of grill and cook until cooked through, another 4-6 minutes or so.

Remove from skewers and toss in large bowl with reserved olive oil and solids mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

They were excellent with grilled garlic lemon chicken also from the same issue of Cooks Illustrated. How I love that magazine!


18 baby red potatoes about 1 1/2" in diameter - cut in half. If bigger, cut into quarters or eighths.

Skewer on wooden skewers so the flat sides all line up.

I came to the thread in a search for butter chicken and saw this post of mine. I have no memory of ever making this. Weird!
