Ingredients
 

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
  • Tear off a 20-inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, add the potatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, garlic, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are coated.
  • Place the potatoes down the center of the foil. Leave enough room around the edges to fold the foil into a packet.
  • Fold in the sides to seal the packet. Fold the short ends over twice to seal. Fold in the sides to seal the packet. Leave a little room inside the packet for steam.
  • Place the foil packet on the grill. Grill for 20 to 25 minutes, turning the packet a few times, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Remove the packet from the grill. Carefully open the foil packet because hot steam will come out.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ teaspoon kosher salt.
  • Add more black pepper, if desired.
  • Toss gently.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

Tips and Tricks

Use heavy-duty foil - Regular foil can tear when you turn the packet. Heavy-duty foil holds up better on the grill.
Choose potatoes close in size - Potatoes that are about the same size cook more evenly.
Check tenderness with a fork - The potatoes are done when a fork slides into the center without much pressure.
Open the packet away from your face - Steam builds inside the foil packet and can be hot when opened.
Add soft herbs after grilling - If using parsley or extra oregano as garnish, add it after grilling so it stays fresh.

Storing and Reheating

Store in Refrigerator - Place leftover potatoes in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Reheat on Stovetop - Place the potatoes in a skillet over low heat. Warm until heated through, stirring a few times.
Reheat in Oven - Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Warm at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until heated through.
Reheat on Grill - Place the potatoes in a foil packet. Grill over medium heat until warm.
Freeze - Freezing is not recommended because the potatoes may turn soft after thawing.
