Steps
1 Done | Mix some olive oil, garlic, and rosemary in a small bowl and let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to infuse the flavors. |
2 Done | In the meantime, preheat a grill to medium-high. |
3 Done | Put the washed potatoes in a pot of salted water and prepare to boil. |
4 Done | Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 12 minutes until the potatoes are soft when pierced with the tip of a knife. |
5 Done | Drain the potatoes, then discard the water. |
6 Done | Gently smash each potato until the skin breaks; while trying to keep the potato whole (leaving it about 1 inch thick), you can use a paper towel to not burn your hands while smashing the potatoes. |
7 Done | Then, put the potatoes on a baking sheet and generously brush both sides of the potatoes with the olive oil mixture that you prepared. |
8 Done | Season both sides with salt and pepper. |
9 Done | Place the potatoes on the grill and cook each side for 3 to 5 minutes until grill marks appear and the potatoes are nicely caramelized. |
