Ingredients

  • 12 small red potatoes (3 pounds), scrubbed
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the potatoes until just tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and let cool. Using the heel of your hand, slightly flatten each potato; be careful to keep the potatoes intact.
  2. 2
    Light a grill. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil with the lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the potatoes generously with the dressing and sprinkle with salt.
  3. 3
    Grill the potatoes over a medium-hot fire until crisp and browned, about 3 minutes per side. Serve at once.
  4. 4
    Make Ahead: The smashed boiled potatoes can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring the potatoes to room temperature before grilling.
