Patate alla Griglia - Italian Grilled Potatoes

By Kyle Phillips, About.com

I often wrap potatoes in foil and slip them into the embers when I fire up the grill; they cook on their own and are wonderful with the meat, especially when seasoned with olive oil. You can also grill potatoes, however, and indeed grilled potatoes are quite good. You'll need:

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Potatoes sufficient to feed your party
  • Kosher salt
  • The finely chopped leaves of a fresh sprig of rosemary
  • A drizzle of olive oil

Preparation:

Peel the potatoes, cut them into sections lengthwise (quarter them if they're small, or eighth them if they're larger), and boil them in lightly salted water for 5 minutes.

Drain them, pat them dry, and grill them over a medium flame for 5 minutes per side. Transfer them to a serving dish, sprinkle them with kosher salt and chopped rosemary, drizzle a little oil over them, and serve.
