Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Grilling the Potatoes

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the new potatoes on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and have a nice smoky flavor.

  2. 2

    Preparing the Spice Mix

    In a small pan over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and combine with the smoked paprika.

    Combining Ingredients

    Once the potatoes are grilled, remove them from the grill and let them cool slightly. Cut or break them apart in a large bowl.

  4. 4

    Tossing the Potatoes

    Add the butter, toasted spice mix, chopped parsley, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper to the broken potatoes. Toss everything together until well combined.

    Serve the Gunpowder Potatoes warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
