Grilled Potatoes And Olives Food

GREEK POTATO FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• You'll need 2 big sheets of foil, about 2 feet long. I like to double the foil to avoid oil or juices from seeping out while grilling. Place all the ingredients into the center of the foil, in the order that the ingredients are listed. You can add the feta cheese at this point or add it after the potatoes are cooked.
• Wrap the foil tightly around the potatoes. Grill over medium high heat for 25 minutes or bake at 425 F degrees for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
• Garnish with crumbled feta cheese and serve.

GRILLED FINGERLING POTATO SALAD WITH FETA, GREEN BEANS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the haricot vert until al dente, about 90 seconds. Shock in ice water, drain well, chop in halves or thirds and reserve.
• Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with 2 inches cold water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a small knife inserted into the center of the potato meets with some resistance, about 5 minutes. Drain well, place on a baking sheet and let cool slightly. Halve lengthwise.
• Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey and salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
• Heat the grill to medium heat. Toss the potatoes with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown in spots, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove and toss with some of the vinaigrette.
• Combine the potatoes, green beans, feta cheese, olives and oregano in a bowl. Toss with more of the vinaigrette, taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary. Scatter the parsley leaves over the top and drizzle with a bit more olive oil.

GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Rinse and dry the potatoes (no need to peel). Cut crosswise into ½-inch slices (if your potatoes are smaller than a golf ball, you can halve or quarter them). Place in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, stir together the rosemary, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.
• Drizzle the potatoes with the oil, then sprinkle the spices over the top. Toss to evenly coat.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high (about 375 to 400 degrees F).
• Place two large (about 22 to 24 inches long) sheets of heavy-duty foil down on a large baking sheet (you'll use the baking sheet for easy transport) so that the foil pieces are slightly overlapping down the center to create a wider sheet. Coat with non-stick spray. Spread the potatoes onto the foil in a single layer (if you prefer not to have the food touch the foil, you can add a layer of parchment in between). Place two more overlapping sheets of foil on top, then fold up the edges all the way around to seal and create a packet. Leave some space towards the top of the packet to allow the air to circulate.
• Using the baking sheet, carry the potatoes out to the grill, then with tongs slide the packet onto the grill. Cover then cook for 15 minutes.
• Carefully open the foil then use the tongs to flip the potatoes over. They should be deeply golden on the first side (if not, continue to cook them for 3 to 5 minutes more). Place the foil loosely back over the top, close the grill, and cook for 5 to 10 additional minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pieced with a fork.
• Slide the potato packet back onto the baking sheet, then transfer them to a serving bowl (or serve them right off of the foil). Serve warm, with a sprinkle of Parmesan and chopped fresh herbs as desired.

GRILLED POTATOES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Toss 1 1/2 pounds small fingerling potatoes, 3 smashed unpeeled garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons each olive oil and chopped rosemary, 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, wide zest strips from 1 lemon, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Fold in the sides of the foil and seal to make a packet. Grill over high heat, flipping, until the potatoes are tender, 25 minutes.

GRILLED WARM POTATO SALAD WITH ROASTED GARLIC AND BLACK OLIVE DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk the garlic, vinegar, honey, and salt and pepper, to taste, in a bowl until smooth. While whisking, add the oil until the mixture has emulsified. Pour into a large serving bowl and stir in the olives and parsley.
• Heat the grill to high. Brush both sides of the potatoes with canola oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until lightly golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Coarsely chop the potatoes and add them to the dressing. Toss to coat and serve.

GRILLED RED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill and brush with a metal grill brush to loosen any crud and soot. After the grill has been brushed, run an oiled towel over the grill to pick up any loosened crud.
• In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and onions together with the rosemary, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt, to taste, and a little olive oil. Try to keep the onions together in rounds, they will fall apart while grilling but try and keep them together as long as possible; it just makes things easier.
• Arrange the potatoes and onions on the preheated grill. Once the potatoes have developed lovely grill marks, rotate them a quarter turn to create a lovely crosshatch pattern, (dont worry about the onions, they fall apart and you wont see the marks). Turn the potatoes over and repeat the process, turn the onions over to cook the other side as well. Cook the potatoes and onions until they are soft all the way through, about 8 to 10 minutes on each side.
• Remove from the grill and serve hot or at room temperature.
• Who knew you could grill a potato!

GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat and oil the grates with cooking spray.
• Add the sliced potatoes to a rimmed tray or baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Pour 1/2 cup Garlic Oil over the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Add the potatoes to the hot grill, then brush with the remaining oil mixture. Grill, flipping the potatoes once, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
• Mash together the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt with a knife or bench scraper on a cutting board until it is a paste. Add the garlic to a small saucepan with the oil, chives, parsley, lemon juice and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium-low heat until the ingredients have combined, 3 to 4 minutes. Use as a marinade for potatoes, brush on rolls before toasting or brush on proteins for extra flavor.

GRILLED HALIBUT STEAKS WITH POTATOES, OLIVES, AND ONIONS

Steps:

• In a pot, cover potatoes with 2 inches water; generously season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook 8 minutes. Add onions; continue boiling until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife and onions are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes more. Drain; let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, peel onions.
• Preheat grill to medium-high. In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and 1/2 cup oil. Chop enough oregano to yield 3 tablespoons (from 2 to 3 sprigs) and stir into vinaigrette with olives; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, toss potatoes and onions with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Brush fish and remaining oregano sprigs with oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Brush grates with oil, add vegetables, and grill, turning a few times, 6 minutes. Add fish to grill and top with oregano. Cook fish and vegetables, turning fish once halfway through, until fish is just cooked and vegetables are charred in places and tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Transfer to dish with vinaigrette, turning to evenly coat. Let stand, turning a few times, until no longer hot but still warm, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grill split side of bread until charred in places, 1 to 2 minutes; slice. Serve fish, vegetables, and vinaigrette over greens, with grilled bread.

ROAST POTATOES WITH OLIVES

Steps:

• Toss potatoes in olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper. Arrange in single layer in roasting pan. Place in 375 degree oven for 45 minutes. Turn potatoes twice during the cooking process. Add olives and cook for 10 minutes longer. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
