Garlicky, tender and super flavorful grilled potatoes in foil. Delicious addition to any summer cookout meal.
These grilled potatoes are just the best. Honestly. And this is coming from someone who doesn’t really care for potatoes. Not even French Fries. Well, unless they are my Oven Baked Seasoned French Fries… I can finish off a batch of those in about 2.2 minutes.
But, yeah. I do the happy dance when these Garlic Herb Grilled Potatoes in Foil appear on the menu. Okay, I set the menu, so it’s no accident, but whatevs. Just remember that, I.am.woman. ‘Nuff said. But, also: I.am.mom. I.am.wife. I.am.cook. Obvi, the menu is my domain.

How to Grill Potatoes in Foil
- Combine potatoes and herbs in a large bowl.
- Arrange the potatoes on a large piece of foil and fold the edges to make a packet.
- Place the packets on the grill and cover. Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Take off the grill and serve.
RECIPE NOTES:
- Use smaller new potatoes to maximize texture. I use small Yukon gold potatoes.
- This potato recipe is very versatile. You can use simple flavor additions or swaps like lemon, different seasonings, shallots, onions, and so on.
- The potato packets can also be prepared in the oven at 425F for about 15 to 20 minutes.
So easy and simple, right? Charred, smoky flavor, near endless flavor possibilities, and very yummy. Me thinks these will be great for a camp dinner, as well.

Sorry, this was intended to be a reply to Dave below.
These were so easy and so good! I was looking for a side dish I didn’t have to put in the oven and these were perfect. We started them a little before our pork tenderloin on the grill and the timing was perfect. The potatoes were very flavorful and even got a little crispy. Great recipe..
That’s great! I am very glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU! 🙂
Just want to make a note that the points are incorrect for myWW purple. With 2 tablespoons of olive oil spread over 4 servings, it is 2 points per serving. Potatoes are zero on purple and I confirmed the point value in the recipe builder! Thanks for a tasty recipe!
Thank you so much! I am very glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
