A quick and easy recipe for crispy, herb-infused baby potatoes cooked in tin foil, perfect for grilling or baking with minimal fuss and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Lemon zest (optional)
  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
  2. Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Halve or quarter them for even cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, combine potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Tear off a 12×12 inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place the seasoned potatoes in the center and spread slightly. Add lemon zest if using.
  5. Fold the foil over the potatoes and crimp edges tightly to seal completely.
  6. Place foil packets on a baking sheet or directly on the grill. Cook for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  7. Carefully open the foil packets, watch for steam, and toss potatoes gently to crisp up if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Check potatoes at 20 minutes to avoid overcooking. Seal foil tightly but leave a small air pocket for steam circulation. For extra crispiness, open foil in last 5 minutes and broil or grill directly. Prep potatoes and seasoning the night before for convenience. Use waxy or all-purpose potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture. Avoid Russets as they tend to fall apart.
