Ingredients: 8 red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes; 20 garlic scapes, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces; 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil; kosher salt and pepper to taste

This barbecued potato recipe gets a flavorful upgrade with the addition of garlic scapes, the edible flower stalks of garlic plants. My family raved about these potatoes, and I make them whenever scapes are in season. The garlic scapes provide a subtle garlic flavor and a texture similar to asparagus, making this potato side dish a barbecue favorite.

Ingredients

8 red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
20 garlic scapes, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare your outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly grease the grate. Cut six 18-inch squares of aluminum foil and set them aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the potatoes and garlic scapes. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to your liking. Evenly distribute the potato mixture onto the aluminum foil squares, then fold the edges to create sealed packets.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill, close the lid, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Remember to rotate the packets halfway through the cooking time for even cooking.
