Ingredients

  • 300 grams baby potatoes about 11 ounces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt add more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper add more to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ⅛ teaspoon dill weed

FOR BOILING:

  • 2.5 cups water if using a small saucepan
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Properly wash and clean each baby potato, then pat them dry with paper towels.
  • In a saucepan with boiling water, slowly drop the cleaned baby potatoes. Boil for 8 minutes or until the baby potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy.
    Several whole potatoes are boiling in a pot of water, with bubbles visible on the surface.
  • Immediately remove from the boiling water once tender and allow to cool.
  • Once cool to the touch, slice each baby potato in half.
    A wooden tray with five cut pieces of yellow potatoes on a white surface, a red and white checkered cloth, and a small basket of whole potatoes in the background.
  • Transfer the halved baby potatoes to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic, and dill weed. Gently toss the seasoned baby potatoes to coat evenly.
    A white oval dish filled with seasoned, roasted baby potatoes sits on a white surface near a red checkered cloth and a bag of raw potatoes.
  • In a heated cast-iron grill over medium heat, add the seasoned baby potatoes, cut side down.
  • Grill the seasoned baby potatoes undisturbed for 3 minutes, or until the desired grill marks form. Then grill on all sides for 3 minutes undisturbed or until the desired grill marks are achieved and each baby potato is golden crisp.
    Sliced potatoes with seasoning grill marks are shown cooking on a black grill surface.
  • Transfer to a plate and serve with your favorite dip or paired with your grilled meat and seafood mains.

Notes

Use similar-sized baby potatoes for even cooking.
If the baby potatoes are a bit larger, boil for 1 to 2 more minutes. Do not overcook the baby potatoes in the boiling water, as they can become extra-soft and mushy.
Coat the baby potatoes with oil and grease the cast-iron grill with oil to prevent sticking.
I used a seasoned cast-iron grill, but a charcoal grill is an option for outdoor cooking.
I grilled these baby potatoes in 2 batches using a cast-iron grill over a one-burner stove.
Cooking time will be shorter if the heat source is wider and only one batch is used for the entire recipe.
