3 Tablespoons olive oil

1 ½ pounds baby yellow potatoes, salt for boiling
Slice potatoes. Let them cool slightly and then slice the cooked potatoes in half and place in a bowl. Add the olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste and stir.
3 Tablespoons olive oil, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Add to pan. Place the potatoes in a disposable tin (or a cast iron skillet). If you place as many potatoes cut side down as possible - you'll get even more crispiness!
Grill. Preheat a grill to at least 400 degrees and place the tin inside. Close the lid and cook until the potatoes get crispy.
Serve potatoes with a protein or just veggies. See blog post for lots of suggestions!

Notes

**If you are serving a large group, I recommend doubling or tripling this recipe and using a larger tin!

Recipe Tips

Use plenty of salt (like a couple of big pinches) when boiling the potatoes to add flavor. Salt is key to flavoring potatoes.
Cook the potatoes until they are fork tender. If some of the babies are on the smaller side, you may need to remove them before the larger ones are done.
Use a throwaway tin to cook these potatoes. Easy cleanup!
You may want to use a larger tin to get even more crispy parts on each potato.
Don't be afraid to cook these at a high heat, shaking the tin as you go to move the potatoes around some.
Don't cover the potatoes while cooking on the grill.
If you are making a protein on the grill too, make that first (and let rest). Then crank up the heat and add the potatoes until crispy.
