  • Light the charcoal and pile it on one side of the grill. While waiting for the charcoal to get to the right stage (glowing coals, not raging fire) prepare the Herbed Potatoes

Herbed Potato Instructions

  • Lay a sheet of aluminum foil on the countertop. Place all the potato ingredients on top of the foil. Fold up the foil to create a tightly sealed package. Lay a second sheet of aluminum foil on the counter and double wrap the potatoes.

To Grill

  • Place the potato package directly over the coals. The coals should be medium-hot
  • Place the pork tenderloin on the opposite side of the grill away from the coals. Place some wood chips on the grate over the coals to gently smoke the meat, cover the grill
  • Turn the potato package ever 10 minutes. It is not necessary to turn the pork tenderloin
  • Roast the pork tenderloin until an instant-read thermometer reads 145F° (63C°). Cover with a sheet of foil and let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  • Remove potatoes after around 45-50 minutes
