Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 small Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 small red potatoes
- 3 small purple potatoes
- 4 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 12 oz (340 g) jarred roasted red peppers
- 10 garlic cloves
- 1 slice bread
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) chopped toasted almonds
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sweet or smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash, scrub, and dry the potatoes.
- Wrap the garlic for the Romesco sauce in aluminum foil.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Place one potato on a flat surface. Hold it tightly on both ends with your thumb and index finger. Using a sharp paring knife and starting from one end, cut thin slices, stopping before reaching the bottom (make sure you don’t cut all the way through), keeping the cuts as even as possible. Repeat the process with the rest of the potatoes.
- Drizzle ½ teaspoon of olive oil over each potato, rubbing them gently to coat. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly and place them on the grill. Cover and cook for 25 minutes.
- At the same time, place the foil-wrapped garlic in the grill and remove it after 15 minutes.
- Once the garlic is cooked and while the potatoes continue cooking, prepare the Romesco sauce. Combine all the sauce ingredients, including the garlic, in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
- Once the potatoes are ready, place them on a serving platter and cover them tightly with aluminum foil until ready to serve.
Notes
- For even cooking, ensure potatoes are similar in size and thickness.
- If jarred roasted red peppers are unavailable, roast your own bell peppers for a richer flavor.
- To prevent sticking, lightly oil the grill grates before placing the potatoes.
