Happy June! Can you believe we are close to the mid-way point of the year? And even better summer is looming upon us. Well, here in Florida, summer is here with a vengeance. Between the 90+ degree days, high humidity, and afternoon thunder showers, summer has arrived. I love to grill year round and especially so in the summer months when our home is at its hottest point and the last thing I want to do is heat up our home with dinner cooking only to take a good day to cool it off. And then later pay the pricey electric bill. I’ve teamed up today with Black Gold Farms and Better with Reds Potatoes to share a fun grilling recipe and an amazing giveaway!

Did you know you could grill potatoes?

No tinfoil pouch required. Growing up I remember my dad with make foil pouches with potatoes and onions in them, but never dared to leave them bare on the grill. Ever since I first started using Better with Reds I started grilling them “naked” with no foil pouch straight-up on the grill. The key is to close the lid and turn them frequently to prevent sticking and burning. Oh and lather those spuds up with some olive or grapeseed oil. Whatever you have on hand will work!

I have vegetable basket inserts for my STOK grill and that’s what I use. You can use traditional vegetable grilling baskets if you don’t have the fancy inserts like I do. For this recipe for Grilled Italian Sausage & Red Potatoes I place the Italian Sausage on the bottom of the basket and then layer on the potatoes and veggies. Tossing them every 5 minutes to prevent burning and sticking to the grill. Once the potatoes are fork tender I remove everything off the grill and then top with fresh herbs and shredded mozzarella. I love this grilled version of Grilled Italian Sausage & Red Potatoes it reminds me of my oven baked version that takes 2 hours. Instead this is all done on the grill and done within 30 minutes! My kind of meal.
