Made this last night and they were so good! I served them alongside your Cracker Barrel copycat meatloaf. Everyone loved both and the red potatoes were so creamy inside with a crispy outside. Will def keep this recipe for more summer grillin.

In reply to Carolyn. Thanks and good question Carolyn. It's important to add potatoes to cold water and allow the water to come to a boil because the potato starch reacts as soon as it comes in contact with hot water, which will promote uneven cooking and possibly mealy textured potatoes. You can do this if you prefer, but since these are then skewered and then grilled, I do not. The potatoes are not completely cooked when boiled, it's just a process to assist in cutting down time on the grill. Hope this helps.

Can’t wait to try these potatoes! And what great photography!
One question: the recipe says to boil 10-12 minutes. I’ve always heard that potatoes should be put in cold water then warmed to boiling (not sure if this is a cooking myth my mom passed along?). Should I drop the potatoes in boiling water or warm the water & potatoes and then start timing it once it’s boiling?
Thanks for your help!
