I love this time of year. I am harvesting new potatoes and fresh herbs are available in the garden. We had the barbecue fired up for Korean Marinated Steak and needed a side. I made some new potatoes on the grill.
I harvested enough thyme, oregano and sage from our herb garden to get 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of each when chopped fine.
I cut the potato into chunks. I added the herbs, salt, olive oil, and pepper. I squeezed the 1/2 lemon over the potatoes.
I put the mixture into a foil pan and covered with foil.
I put the pan on the upper rack of the barbecue with the grill on medium. I rotated the pan every 15 minutes and cooked or 45 minutes.
We served the potatoes with the Korean Marinated Chops and a wonderful bean and carrot salad made by She Who Must Be Obeyed.
The Verdict
I love new potatoes but I love them even more with fresh herbs. The lemon juice adds a nice fresh taste. These are very nice.
