Herbed Potato Packs

Side Dishes

Fingerlings are small, firm and waxy potatoes, so they cook faster than chunkier varieties and leap from grill to table in one convenient pouch.

YIELD: 4 servings.

Ingredients

2 pounds fingerling potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper

Instructions

1. Pierce potatoes with a fork. Place in a large microwave-safe dish; cover and microwave for 4-7 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring halfway. Add the remaining ingredients; toss to coat.
2. Place one-fourth of the potatoes on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 14x12 in.). Fold foil around potatoes and seal tightly. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
3. Grill, covered, over medium-high heat for 6-9 minutes on each side or until potatoes are tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
