Accidental Best Potatoes EVER


PD and I skipped our usual Meatless Mondays (Meatless Mondays no meat all day.  Just a meatless dinner.  And by usual, I mean about 1-2x/month.) this week and opted for T-bone steaks instead.  Oh.  And, by the way, did I mention that we were barbequing because all of our pots and most of our dishes were dirty?  Anyhoo.

I planned on making asparagus in the toaster oven on foil (no dishes necessary!) and saw that we had a bag of fingerling potatoes in the fridge and wanted an easy way to make them.  Collectively, we decided to dice them up, toss them in olive oil, S+P, and smoked paprika, and cook them in the BBQ over a mesh basket.  I was not expecting much, but they were by far the tastiest potatoes that I can remember having.  Crispy and smokey on the outside, sweet and tender-but-not-mushy on the inside.  The word "tender" gives me the heebie-jeebies...  but let's just say that they beat the Cajun Fries at Five Guys.
