These deliciously sweet grilled baby potatoes are slightly charred & crispy on the outside & soft & creamy on the inside. They will become your most requested side this summer!

I love summer and the plentiful excuses it gives for grilling frequently. I don't know what it is, but food always seems to taste better when outdoors and it is perfectly possible to have a delicious, satisfying and cruelty free grilling session.

There are so many delicious vegan grilling options. I almost always cook some ears of corn. I simply throw them on the grill in their husks and let them steam themselves to perfection. To serve we just peel back the husks and dig in. Some of my Easy Vegan Butter melted all over them is so good!

A few more things that I frequently grill are veggie kabobs, zucchini halved lengthways and cooked face down, marinated portobello mushrooms and of course veggie burgers like my White Bean Artichoke Burgers which grill up brilliantly.

My Grilled Nectarines are also a must for dessert.

GRILLED BABY POTATOES FOR THE WIN

No matter what we are having, my Grilled Baby Potatoes with Rosemary are always on the menu.

They are such a favourite with everyone and are incredibly easy to make. They can even be prepared ahead of time, leaving you more time to mingle with your friends and family on the day.

We always make more than we need as they are great cold the next day. I often grab them from the fridge for snacks or toss them through a salad for lunch.

HOW TO COOK POTATOES ON THE GRILL

Super easy!

These Grilled Baby Potatoes are so incredibly delicious. There is just something about the crispy charred outsides and the soft, fluffy insides that makes them irresistible.

They become really sweet as they cook and I could quite easily eat an entire plate of them if I didn't begrudgingly have to share with everyone else.

These little potatoes really will become your most requested side this summer!

try serving them with one of these bright and vibrant salads!

Be sure to buy good quality baby potatoes. I find that the smaller they are the sweeter they tend to be and because of this I absolutely love The Little Potato Company. Their potatoes are like tiny little pebbles and they cook up beautifully on the grill.
