Instructions
1
Start by placing the halved small red potatoes in a large Dutch oven and covering them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Cook the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl.
3
While the potatoes are still warm, toss them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
4
In a separate bowl, mix together the grated lemon juice, pressed garlic cloves, salt, ground pepper, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to create a flavorful lemon-garlic dressing.
5
Prepare your grill by coating a cold cooking grate with vegetable oil cooking spray. Heat your grill to medium heat (approximately 350°F).
6
Once the grill is heated, place the coated potatoes on the cooking grate. Grill them covered with the grill lid for about 5 minutes, turning them occasionally so they get a nice char on all sides.
7
After grilling, transfer the hot potatoes back to the bowl and gently toss them with the lemon-garlic dressing. Make sure the potatoes are well-coated.
