Combining crispy roasted potatoes with the savory and aromatic notes of garlic and soy creates a balanced ping-pong of taste sensations that are hard to resist.
Garlic, a culinary staple, enriches the potatoes with its robust flavor. Its distinct aroma and subtle sweetness enhance the potatoes’ natural earthiness, creating a delightful symphony of flavors.

Can we do on bbq instead of roasting? How much time and should I precook at all in the microwave?
I know this question is old, but I'm responding for anyone else wondering the same thing.
Cooking a potato, even one chopped small with a grill is tricky at best. The outside will often burn well before the inside is done. To remedy this I recommend pre-cooking in a microwave. Most modern microwaves have a potato setting. As i prefer my potatos to have a little firmness, I will often remove them earlier. I know grill purist are cringing, but this allows the best of both worlds. Starting in the microwave allows you to cut down cooking time; therefore requiring less time on the grill.
After all, the whole reason of wanting it on the grill is not cooking it as much as imparting some smoke flavor. This thankfully does not take long. You can speed this up by throwing in a handful of dry smoking chips and closing the lid.
I hope this helps.
James S offers some fantastic advice. Before grilling, get those potatoes partially cooked - give them a head start. It's quick, easy, and very effective to par-cook the potatoes inthen grill and dress them the microwave, . Great advice James.
I have roasted potatoes in the grill on a cookie sheet all the time you just need to watch them. I live in Arizona and we cook outside during the summer because we don't want to heat up the house.
