Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds fingerling potatoes, scrubbed well
Kosher salt
Olive oil, to coat
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Slip the potatoes into a large pot of cold water, and bring to a boil. Add a few large pinches of salt, and simmer until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and let cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, place them on a sheet tray and gently press them down to flatten. (It helps to use the edge of a large clean chef's knife, pressing the potatoes down flat one at a time, until they flatten to a 1 1/2-inch thickness.) Drizzle on the olive oil, and add the garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Gently toss until the potatoes are well coated.
  • Heat your grill to medium heat. Remove the potatoes from the sheet tray, and grill them until they are golden brown and crisp, about 4 or 5 minutes per side.
  • Remove the crispy potatoes to a platter. Give them a taste, and add more salt and freshly ground black pepper if necessary.
  • NOTE
  • The trick here is to not overboil your potatoes. You don't want the potatoes to crumble and fall through your grill grates!
