Step 1
Start by heating your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick brush with oil so nothing sticks. Tear off six pieces of aluminum foil, each about 18 inches long, and set them aside. In a big bowl, toss the potatoes and garlic scapes with a good drizzle of olive oil, then sprinkle on some salt and pepper to taste. Divide the potato mixture evenly onto the foil pieces, then fold up the edges to create sealed packets. Place the foil packets on the hot grill, close the lid, and let them cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Be sure to turn the packets halfway through so everything cooks evenly. When the potatoes are soft and easy to poke with a fork, they’re ready to enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish brings out the natural sweetness of potatoes with the fresh, mild garlic flavor from the scapes. Cooking in foil keeps everything tender and juicy while making cleanup easy. It’s a simple yet flavorful side that pairs well with many meals.
How to serve
Serve alongside grilled meats or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. It also works well as a cozy side with a fresh salad or crusty bread. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on a grill wrapped in foil to keep the potatoes soft and moist. Avoid microwaving as it may dry them out.
