Ingredients

  • 2 medium Idaho potatoes, washed, skin on, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • Gray salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 4 garlic cloves

Directions

Preheat the grill. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Put the potato slices on the hot grill and cook for about 2 minutes on each side to mark them. Remove from the grill and place them in a single layer in a baking pan. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Add enough olive oil to reach 1/3 up the sides of the potatoes. Turn the potatoes over to coat with the oil. Scatter the thyme and garlic cloves over the potatoes, sprinkle with a little more salt, if desired, and place in the oven.

After about 15 to 20 minutes, the potatoes will be tender. Remove from the oven and let them cool in the oil. Serve at room temperature.

Chef's notes: Using a high quality olive oil will impart its flavor to the potato.

    My husband never met a potato he didn't like but there have been ones he liked better than others and honestly folks I think it going to top them all. This is so delicious! The grill flavor, the thyme, the garlic...all of these come together for an amazing overall taste.

    I think most all the FoodNetwork stars have a variation of this recipe. It is standard except for the herbs of your choice and maybe Italian onions, like in Giada's recipe, which is also outstanding! Roasting veggies with olive oil is a healthy alternative and my family and I love them this way. Just use the herbs/root veggies that you and your family like best.
