BBQ Potatoes

These potatoes are a perfect easy side to pretty much any meal. There is not one obvious taste or any overly strong flavors so they are perfect for serving to company, especially when you have several palates to please. 

I wrap these in tinfoil and place on the BBQ, but they could just as easily be cooked in the oven. For extra taste (and to be honest eye appeal) when they are close to being done I take them out of the foil and and place them on the BBQ to get some grill marks. If you know your family or guests are fans of spicy food add a little hot sauce in with the oil and lemon.

Serves 4

BBQ Potatoes
  • 12 small potatoes, each washed and cut into 4 wedges (for baby potatoes use 24 and cut into halves)
  • 1.5 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 Tbsp oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • s & p

* Combine all ingredients in a bowl, stir well and wrap in tinfoil
* Cook in preheated BBQ at med-high for about 20 minutes (our family likes cooked but not soft potatoes, you may find you need to cook yours for longer to suit your tastes)
* Remove from foil and place on grill for 5 minutes, during this time turn potatoes 3 times to ensure grill marks on each side

Enjoy!
