Grilled Garlic & Tarragon Potatoes

With summer upon us, it's time to bring out the grill and cook over a flame! If you don't have a grill, don't worry, you can use a grill pan or use the flavors of this recipe and bake the potatoes! In this recipe, we will explore delicious Grilled Garlic and Tarragon Potatoes.

With recipes from Parsnip Puree, Mashed Potatoes, to Lyonnaise Potatoes, it's time to embrace summer cooking. This week you get to step outside into the sunshine and begin grilling. It's a simple recipe with no fancy frills, just classic potatoes with a modern twist on flavors.

I've found countless recipes for grilled potatoes that called for Olive Oil and Salt and Pepper. That's all tasty and wonderful, but it needs a bit more punch of flavor.

While the garlic adds a classic, friendly taste to the potatoes, the Tarragon adds a modern twist that will change a traditional recipe and add more flavor notes and depth. You'll also notice a bit of White Vinegar in this recipe; this helps add a touch of acidity that's different from citrus. The Garlic, Tarragon, and Vinegar are all designed to go together. Each builds on the other without overpowering other flavors.

When making this recipe, you must use very small potatoes; while you can use large potatoes, they will take much longer to cook. Try to look for New Potatoes in your grocery store; this means the potatoes were picked early.

Yukon Gold Potatoes are perfect for the grill as well. This recipe creates mini-baked potatoes with a hint of smoky flavor. All you need is a little tinfoil to cook them in, and you're set! You don't need a plate; you can peel open the tinfoil, set it on a table, and dig in! This recipe is ideal for summer grilling or cookout.

We know you'll enjoy this fantastic summer recipe, so let's begin cooking!

- It's essential to use small Yukon gold potatoes or new potatoes. New potatoes are potatoes that have been picked early.

- The longer you let your marinade sit, the more flavorful it will be.

- You can also use a tinfoil pan; you can usually find these in a grocery store.
