Recipe: Grilled Home Fries
Grilled Home Fries
This is an easy side dish when you're grilling steaks or chicken. A grill basket makes it much easier to turn the vegetables and keep everything from falling into the flames. A better alternative to the garlic powder is to toss in 8-10 unpeeled garlic cloves, but when I'm pressed for time the powder gets the job done.
2 large Potatoes
1 medium Red sweet pepper
1 medium Red onion
3 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1/4 tsp Ground Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1 Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, place a grill basket on to briefly preheat.
2 Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Remove the seeds and membrane from the pepper and cut into quarters. Peel the onion and cut into quarters.
3 Place the vegetables in a large bowl, sprinkle with the salt, peper, garlic power, and olive oil. Gently toss to coat.
4 Place the vegetables on the grill basket, making sure that everything is in a single layer, retaining the bowl with the remaining oil. Cook until soft and nicely browned, then turn and brown the other side. The onions will take the least time, 5-7 minutes, the peppers 8-10, the potatoes the longest 12-15 mins.
5 As the vegetables cook, remove them from the grill and return to the bowl. Once all the vegetables are done, toss gently to coat with the remaining oil and serve.
