Eric and I have decided that this is going to the summer of grilling. We lived in a condo for years where we couldn’t grill and then last summer, we were busy moving in to our new house and I was busy being pregnant. Our grilling repertoire revolved largely around hot dogs and bratwursts.
But this year we’re already off to a great start with Eric manning the grill on a regular basis. We’ve had a few ups-and-downs along the way, but overall it’s been a very good experience. I can’t wait to experience all the new meals we enjoy as a result of this new-found love!
For our previous (minimal) grilled meals, I always relied on a combination of the same sides – corn on the cob, watermelon, French fries, potato salad, pasta salad or cantaloupe. Now I’m determined to broaden our options as we increase our grilled main dish choices. These barbecue roasted potatoes were my first experiment and they turned out so good. Each bite of potato was just bursting with flavor and it was a perfect accompaniement to our grilled pork chops.
