Barbecued potatoes are a simple yet delicious side dish that perfectly complements any grilled meal. Made with a mix of regular and sweet potatoes, this recipe brings together the best of both worlds, offering a delightful combination of flavors and textures. With just a few ingredients and some basic steps, you can elevate your barbecue experience to the next level.
Instructions:
a. Wash and scrub the potatoes and sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
b. Peel the potatoes and sweet potatoes if desired. You can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
c. Cut the potatoes and sweet potatoes into uniform-sized chunks, approximately 1-inch pieces. This ensures they cook evenly.
a. Place the potato and sweet potato chunks into a large mixing bowl.
b. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and sweet potatoes.
c. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add any additional herbs or spices you like, such as garlic powder, paprika, rosemary, or thyme.
a. Toss the potato mixture until all pieces are evenly coated with the olive oil and seasoning.
a. Preheat your barbecue grill to medium heat, around 350°F (175°C).
b. If using a charcoal grill, prepare a medium-hot fire.
a. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking. You can do this by dipping a paper towel in some olive oil and using tongs to rub it over the grates.
b. Place the potato and sweet potato pieces directly onto the grill. Space them out to ensure they cook evenly and get nice grill marks.
c. Grill for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes and sweet potatoes are tender and have a nice caramelized char. Use a fork to test for doneness; they should be fork-tender but not mushy.
a. Remove the barbecued potatoes and sweet potatoes from the grill using tongs and transfer them to a serving platter.
b. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
7. Garnish (Optional):
a. For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle freshly chopped herbs like parsley, chives, or cilantro over the top.
b. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish.
a. Serve the barbecued potatoes hot, alongside your favorite grilled meats, vegetables, or as a standalone dish.
Tips:
- Cut the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Parboil the potatoes for 5-10 minutes before grilling to speed up the cooking process.
- Use a grill basket to prevent the potatoes from falling through the grates.
- For extra flavor, add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the olive oil before tossing the potatoes.
- Turn the potatoes frequently to achieve even grilling and prevent burning.
Barbecued potatoes are an easy, crowd-pleasing dish that brings out the natural flavors of both regular and sweet potatoes. Their crispy exterior and tender inside make them the perfect side dish for any grilled meal. Enjoy your barbecued potatoes with your favorite barbecue dishes for a complete and satisfying meal.
