Ingredients

  • 1 bag of baby potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp chives, diced
  • 2 tbsp capers, finely diced

Directions

Boil potatoes:

  1. Place potatoes into a pot and cover with water until completely submerged.
  2. Set over high heat, and boil for about 10-12 minutes, or until soft enough for a fork to easily go through them.
  3. Strain and return to dry pot or bowl.
  4. Drizzle with 2 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tsp sea salt. Toss until well coated.
  5. Set aside until ready to grill.

Make the sauce:

  1. In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, chives, and capers.
  2. Mix and set aside in fridge until potatoes are grilled.

To finish:

  1. Preheat barbecue on high heat for about 5 minutes, or until very hot.
  2. Scatter potatoes around the grill in one even layer. Close lid and cook for about 5-8 minutes, or until charred slightly and golden.
  3. Rotate potatoes, and cook for another 5-8 minutes.
  4. Once nicely golden with a little bit of char, transfer to the large bowl that has the caper/lemon mix. Toss potatoes until well coated.
  5. Set aside on a plate and sprinkle a little more salt on top.

Optional: garnish with more chives.
