Grilled Potatoes with Smoked Paprika Recipe
Thanks so much to all of you who shared your wonderful recipes during the appetizer round of our Get Grillin' event. If you are looking for new summer appetizer recipes, be sure to check out the entries for some inspiring ideas. Marla of Family Fresh Cooking and I are excited to see what you have in store for us during side dish week. I chose to grill some potatoes tossed with a little salt and smoked paprika. You may wish to share green salads, pasta salads, grilled vegetables (such as Marla's Balsamic Grilled Vegetables) or any other side dish that is a "must have" at your summer barbecue. Whatever you choose to share, your entry will make you eligible to win a gorgeous Emile Henry 8" Flame Bean Pot.
Next week's theme will be entrees, so put on your thinking caps.
Thanks to our sponsors, Ile de France Cheese, Rösle, Emile Henry, Rouxbe and ManPans, we have some fabulous prizes to give away each week . Scroll down to find out more about this week's giveaway. Remember, you have to enter a recipe to be eligible for the giveaway.

The recipe:
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Cut potatoes lengthwise into ¼-inch slices. On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with canola oil. Add smoked paprika and salt, and toss again.

Lay the potatoes slices straight on the grill. Cook until potatoes are tender inside when pierced with a fork, but slightly crisp and golden brown on the outside, turning halfway through cooking, 10 to 12 minutes total. Remove from grill and serve immediately.

If you do not serve immediately, cover potatoes with foil. They will become soft. You can enjoy them this way or re-crisp on the grill immediately before serving.

Perfect timing Dara. Eight potatoes in a CSA box and no desire to make potato salad. This is on the menu tonight and I'm not kidding!
