Boil the potatoes before you head out camping (or to your backyard!). They’ll get a quick char on the grill to crisp the skins and warm back up, priming them for soaking up all that miso butter.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1½ lb. baby Yukon Gold potatoes
½ cup Diamond Crystal or ¼ cup Morton kosher salt
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 Tbsp. red miso
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. chopped parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Bring potatoes, salt, and 1 quart water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, 12–14 minutes; drain. Grill potatoes, turning often with tongs, until lightly charred, 6–8 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, set a medium skillet, preferably cast iron, on grill. Place butter and miso in skillet and cook, stirring, until butter is melted and mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in garlic and vinegar. Season with pepper.

    Step 3

    Transfer potatoes to skillet, breaking some in half with tongs. Toss to coat in miso butter. Add parsley; toss again.
