BARBEQUED POTATO AND GARLIC SCAPE PACKETS



Barbequed Potato and Garlic Scape Packets image

A basic barbecued potato dish takes on a delicious twist thanks to garlic scapes, the flower stalks of the garlic plant. My family absolutely flipped over these potatoes so I take advantage whenever scapes are available. The garlic scapes add a wonderful garlic flavor to the potatoes without being overpowering and they almost have the consistency of young asparagus stalks. The texture of the potatoes and the scapes is interesting and makes a satisfying side dish to any early summer barbecue.

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
20 garlic scapes, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cut 6 18-inch pieces of aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Combine the potatoes and scapes in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture among the pieces of aluminum foil and fold the edges of the foil over the potato mixture to seal the packets.

NEW POTATOES WITH GARLIC SCAPES

When crisping potatoes, it's important not to crowd the pan, so you may need to cook them in two batches. If so, for the second batch, return the heat to high and add more oil or butter if necessary.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds new potatoes, such as Norland, scrubbed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups garlic scapes, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons salted butter, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with water. Add enough salt so that the water tastes like the ocean, about 2 tablespoons. Cover, and bring to a boil.
  • Remove from heat. Add garlic scapes. Let sit 10 minutes; the potatoes should be tender when pierced with a knife. Drain, and separate potatoes from scapes. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add potatoes, in batches if necessary, cut sides down, and cook until they begin to brown, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, and add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook until potatoes are golden and crisp, stirring occasionally, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Add garlic scapes and 1 tablespoon butter to pan; raise heat to make potatoes extra crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
