Instructions

1.
Wash the Jersey Royal potatoes thoroughly and place them in a medium saucepan.
2.
Cover the potatoes with cold water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are just tender but still firm, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
3.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the lemon-herb dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4.
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
5.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, halve or quarter them if they are large. Toss them gently with half of the lemon-herb dressing.
6.
Grill the potatoes for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are nicely charred and slightly crispy. Be careful not to burn them.
7.
Remove the grilled potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving bowl.
8.
Pour the remaining lemon-herb dressing over the potatoes and toss to coat.
9.
Serve immediately, garnished with your choice of optional toppings, such as crumbled feta cheese, fresh parsley, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Chef's Tips

For a smoky flavor, add a handful of wood chips (such as hickory or applewood) to your grill.

If you don't have a grill, you can roast the potatoes in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.

Adjust the amount of lemon juice and herbs to your taste.

The potatoes can be prepared ahead of time and grilled just before serving.
