Looking for a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's both vegetarian and gluten-free? Look no further than Leslie's Salty Grilled Potatoes! This mouthwatering recipe is perfect for those warm summer evenings spent outdoors, and it's ready in just 75 minutes. Each serving comes in at a reasonable 281 calories, making it a guilt-free addition to any meal.

The star of this dish is, of course, the potato. Who doesn't love the comforting, fluffy goodness that comes from a perfectly cooked spud? But what sets Leslie's Salty Grilled Potatoes apart is the incredible blend of seasonings. With a base of softened butter spread generously over aluminum foil, the potatoes are then generously sprinkled with coarse salt, garlic powder, and pepper. For an extra touch of flavor, feel free to add your favorite Italian seasoning.

The cooking process is simple yet effective. Each potato is individually wrapped in the seasoned foil, creating a little packet that traps in all the flavors as it grills. The key to perfectly cooked potatoes is patience – give them an hour on the grill, turning them frequently and poking them with a fork or knife to ensure even cooking.

When it's time to serve, the foil packets can be unwrapped at the table, revealing the aromatic, tender potatoes beneath. And the best part? You can customize these potatoes to your heart's content, adding your favorite toppings like sour cream, chives, or additional herbs.

Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue, looking for a new addition to your weeknight dinner rotation, or simply craving some seriously tasty spuds, Leslie's Salty Grilled Potatoes won't disappoint. So why not give them a try and experience the joy of this simple yet satisfying dish?
