Best Potatoes You'll Ever Taste

Guys Guys Guys - its xanthe here, the recipe published omitted some crucial details. 1. Only use egg mayo - not the regular kind - that would be grose! 2. Brush or spoon on the sauce (dont triple it!) cause it needs to cook and brown - The sauce is not a dipper at all. 3. You cook this in the griller in your stove not on a barbeque at all! Line your tray with foil and you should be able to spoon off the potatoes when ready and disgard the foil - no biggie! 4. Everything else is to taste...garlic or no garlic, cheese if you like - you decide. I have had so much success at making these so I hope that helps.

YUM!! We enjoyed these potatoes so much that we had them two nights in a row. This is what i did: I used real Mayo (not Miracle Whip) and added alittle extra garlic (because we like it). The first night I followed the recipe and boiled the potatoes and I think after the baking, they were just alittle over-cooked - SO, on the second night, I microwaved them for ~10 minutes on high. They were PERFECT after the baking. When blending the ingredients together, I litely coated the potatoes before putting them into a roasting foil bag. I tried baking in the oven (375 degrees for 20 min.) and the second night, I put the foil bag right on the BBQ. Both methods worked great! Give this recipe a try. I think you will like it. Thanks for sharing! :)

Great recipe! I used a small foil pan lightly sprayed with Pam - this always works great for potatoes on the grill. I partially microwaved the potatoes vs. boiling and added a chopped onion. I used 1/2 tsp. of oregano, 1/2 tsp. of italian seasoning, a little parsley, and added a couple of tablespoons of parmesan cheese to the mayo mixture. You can use light mayo as well to cut down on fat. I covered the pan with foil and these were great on the grill - perfect with steak.

Seems like a small language difference here. In the USA you say broiler, but in Australia and New Zealand we call it a griller ie the bit at the top of the oven. BBQ's have a solid plate called a hot plate and/or maybe a grill as well, and we do not differentiate - it's a bbq, we do not call it a grill, and the cook decides how the food will be cooked(depends on how many beers have been consumed before and during the cooking). Have fun with this, I need another beer!

These are a solid 4 stars - I did read the submitters rating and she never intended this to be done on the outside grill - using the broiler would work great. I thought they were lacking something and added a sprinkling of Smoked Paprika and a touch of parsley. Next time I would add the smoked paprika to the mayonnaise mixture and also do a spicy dip for them. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

DELICIOUS!I was hesitant to try this recipe because the the less than positive review. However, I used an aluminum pie plate sprayed with PAM and had no sticking problem whatsoever. The topping is even better when grated parmesan cheese is added to the mix. Made this for company last night and received rave reviews.

These turned out so good. I added sour cream, smoked paprika, parmesan cheese and, onion powder to these potatoes. They were a big hit with my family. Thank you for the idea of these potatoes.

Wow! The recipe doesn't look all that impressive, but these are the most flavorful potatoes I've ever made on the grill. Only a couple of them stuck to the foil, so next time I'll definitely use some PAM spray. I also used three huge cloves of garlic--some of the zing mellows from the grill. Thanks for an incredible recipe. I'll make these for every BBQ!!

took these to a bbq with friends, and they were a big hit. I followed the recipe (scaled up to feed a large group), except i subbed about 1/3 of the lite mayo with sour cream, and i added some smoked paprika. i also sprinkled fresh parmesan cheese at the end of cooking, and i think the cheese really made the flavour come together. you'll need a lot of salt, which is typical of potato dishes. overall, a very nice dish and a good change from the usual potato salad or scalloped potatoes you usually see at a bbq.

Great starter recipe to adjust to your tastes. I microwaved not boiled skin on. I used olive oil mayo and added chopped onion to the spicing. Used a blender to combine and smooth. Brushed once before placing in broiler and again after 15 min. Perfect

Not our favorite. Hubby asked me why I didn't make my "normal" potatoes. After asking why...he says he likes mine much better. It was ok...but not for us. Thanks anyway for the post.

Delicious. I toss the potatoes in the bowl with the sauce before baking them rather than just pouring it on the top, turned great!

Great idea for using potatoes. We usually like our baked/grilled potatoes with sour cream but find that we're often out of it when we need it so we've been looking for something else to use as a substitute and this is it. I microwaved them until almost cooked and then cut each potato in half. Then I spread the mayonnaise mixture on each cut surface and broiled them until the topping was slightly browned. We both love them this way. Thanks for the great idea Xanthe.

I’m so surprised at how many people thought this was to be cooked on the barbecue. It clearly says in the directions to preheat your oven broiler. But hey, if it works on the barbecue too, that’s awesome. I just know how delicious these are when broiled to a golden brown. I followed the directions exactly the first time. The second time I microwaved them rather than boiling. Then added a few tablespoons of parm to the mayo mixture before spreading it on the potatoes. Yummy!

I wish that this recipe wasn't called the best potatoes you'll ever taste because they aren't even close. The mayo spread left a funny, greasy feeling in my mouth. I'm sorry but we just didn't enjoy these.

This was a great change to every day potatoes. I didn't change any of the ingredients, just the method. I put the sauce mixture in a large bowl and tossed the par-baked potatoes in it and arranged them on the baking dish. Saving me to have to pour it over and miss any spots. Delish!!

I love potatoes! & this was a hit. Did cube the potatoes rather than quarter. Also added parmesan on top. Cooked on a tray in the oven. Will try it in summer on the bbq though. Would be great! Very tasty. Thanks

These were so not the best potatoes I've ever tasted. I'll definately go back to olive oil and luck of the draw seasonings.

If I make this again... my taste buds need to kick it up some. I'll add some pepper flakes and sour cream to the mayo mixture. And add a honey mustard dipping sauce to compliment.

Oh dear - so sorry - really wanted to like, but not for us. Thanks for recipe, though :)

Pouring the mayo mix over the potatoes is. Unsatisfactory method as not all surfaces of potatoes are reached. I prefer putting the potatoes in a bowl, pouring the mayo mix on top, then with clean hands, gently roll pots and mix together both until pots are completely covered! I do this quite often with a very similar recipe.

Easy to throw together, modified with everyone's recommendations of adding grated parmesan cheese and parsley for a little color is perfect. Great flavor! I made it twice in one week because my family wanted more. Thank you for this recipe!

No I didn’t change anything. Just made it and it was great. Thanks

I will stick with my butter, onions, and bacon.

My guys loved these potatoes. But......make sure you read the reviews. The submitter, XANTHE clarified that changes were made to his original recipe and these are to made under the broiler, not on the grill. I made as he/she suggested and they were delicious. My one change was to partially microwave the potatoes rather than boil them. I will make them again using the same method. Served them with 'Greek Yogurt Coleslaw', 'Flank Steak a la Willyboy' and 'Sloppied Flank Steak Sandwiches' all AR recipes.

I love this recipe. It was easy to prepare and tasted great! Like the previous review, I used parmesan cheese and used pam on the foil instead of butter. This worked great and didn't give me any trouble. I will most definately cook this recipe again!

these really are the best!! my family loves them. We followed some of the tips from other reviews and they always come out great

Great! I actually made it on the stove, doing the second part in a frying pan with some olive oil. It came out great, and everyone (including me) loved it. I will definitely make it again.

good, not the best I will ever taste. It seems the original recipe was not very clear as the person who wrote it had to writes some clarification. I did like them. Thanks for the recipe...

I thought these potatoes were just ok. Wont make them again. Not enough flavor.

The potatoes were very yummy. We would try it again but use sour cream instead of mayonnaise. I rated it with three stars only because they do not taste as good as leftovers.

These were different. My hubby and I thought they were good but our 10 & 12 year olds found the smell of the garlic too strong. I probably won't make them again. Michele, Cambridge, Ontario

Good, but not great. We enjoyed them the night they were prepared, but the leftovers have sat untouched in the fridge.

It wasn't as good as it sounded.

easy, fast preparation, and everyone loved it! Have made it several times

these were pretty much the best potatoes i've ever had (that i've made). my favourite thing about them is that they didn't break up after boiling. great recipe!

Awesome addition to any BBQ meal. And so easy and quick, what more do you want. Did I mention it's delicious!?

These are fantastic! Have mde them thre times now an each time they were wonderful...

We did not care for this potato recipe.

No changes and I will definitely make it again!

I'm so sorry to give a bad review. I feel bad. I didn't read any of the reviews before making this. I found that after I got my potatoes done and ready to coat with the sauce, there wasn't enough to cover them all. So I ended up tripling the sauce. I also added 1T of fresh grated parmesan cheese each time I made this. I thought the oregano to be way over powering in this. We love our potatoes and was so excited to try this, but none of us 4 adults liked them. Maybe it was my fault tripling the sauce but they weren't dripping in it, I just covered them nicely. If the sauce is good it shouldn't matter how much you use. Some people really liked this but everyones taste is different. Sorry, this wasn't to our taste. Thanks anyways Xanthe.

These are pretty good, I'm not a big potato eater. My husband liked them for a change and like another suggested I finished them in a skillet sprayed with PAM. Will make again thanks for sharing.

I followed the recipe and it was ok. Not what I expected but not bad. I did use small Yukon potatoes and that might have been the difference.

These were ok. I don't think I'll try them again. I'm a fan of olive oil, garlic and spices. I think part of my disappointment was that my expectations were a bit too high, given the title of the recipe :)

Made it just like the recipe! My husband and I loved it! We love potatoes so various recipes are great.

I made this receipe just as it is and it was delicious.

it was ok - we should have tossed it with the seasoning rather than brushing it on

This is a wonderful change to plain potatoes and it was so easy... They were full of flavor!!!!!!!

Easy. Delicious. And reheats well.

Instead of clinging to the potatoes the sauce burned onto the foil and became really gross looking. I won't make this again.

WOW! These are the best. I absolutely love the flavor. You can't go wrong.

i thought this was wonderful...i followed the recipe but added extra garlic cuz i love garlic...i might grill longer cuz mine werent brown but they were still excellent i will definetly make this again

They were awesome

Easy to make and a little different twist on potatoes!

I added a few more potatoes so I cooked the potatoes in the salt water about 15 minutes. I didn’t have any fresh garlic so I used garlic salt in place of salt in recipe. They turned out really well. Everyone in the family loved them. I’ll be keeping this recipe.

Over rated. Thought potatoes were dry - maybe I parboiled too long. I started in a 450 oven for 10 min then broiled for a few more. We ended up smashing them and adding butter

No. It was great just as is

Wow. Turned out amazing. Family went crazy over this and are asking me to make more...

Yes. I added some onion powder. (1 tsp) and celery salt. (1 tsp) delicious!!!!

I used the mayonnaise mixture in the last few minutes of mix of roasted red potatoes, sweet potatoes, cauliflower and onions. Once it had warmed up on the almost done veggies, broiled on Lo for a few minutes. Excellent addition to my roasted veggies!

my 3 and 4 yr olds loved this recipe. they're so picky about potatoes. they both wanted it for lunch the next day!!! I'm making again tonight. it is alot better to microwave first though.

Great recipe. Very tasty... excellent with steak. We add a bit more garlic than calls for in the recipe.

I made several changes, the original recipe is good but I did everything in the oven at high temps for longer cooing times.

Using russets make them too dry. Really have to slather on the topping to make them better. Make double recipe of topping

I added Parmesan cheese and they turned out perfectly! I would probably pick a different herb next time instead of oregano, or I could use powdered ranch dressing mix.

Great little potato recipe. I'll make this again next time I fire up the grill.

It was out of this world, we LOVED it, thank-you for this recipe.

I've made it twice. Second time I added sour cream and green onions

Very good and easy to make. Will use this at least once a week. Loved It!!!!

I made them because .... um best potatoes ever? LOL who can resist a caption like that? I went by the recipe usingb hellman's mayo of course, except I used a good sprinkle of Tony Cacheries cajun spices over them as they cooked. YUMMY!!! But.... best ever? No. I've made better just plain roasted potatoes. But thanks for the recipie!!

I made changes. Used olive oil and not mayo. Chopped shallots, fresh rosemary and garlic. Added red pepper flakes and cooked in 350 oven after boiling for 5-7 minutes, for about 20 minutes. Turning potatoes as they brown. Yummy!!!

It was easy to make. The potatoes were OK. A little too sweet for my taste buds.

This is an amazingly simple recipe that I will 100% make again, its easy and not too messy, I ended up burning myself but that's because I'm a dork, but it's really tasty and the people in my family who had it love it!

Broil or grill, which is it?

the best

Delicious

I followed the recipe but next time I would use Italian seasoning I think. Didn’t care for just oregano flavour. Otherwise, tasty and simple.

I’m also of mind to slice these after parboiling so that the coating doesn’t so easily fall off in the final broiling process.

Will not make again rates a 0

Good potatoes. I followed the recipe exactly. I think I'll double the recipe next time as they didn't have enough sauce and flavor.

I made this per instructions & loved the crispiness. Used the reg. kind of mayo. Best Foods has egg in it, JFY. Thanks for a great recipe!

I've used mayo as a crunch maker for grilled cheese sandwiches instead of butter on the bread, but was still pleasantly surprised at how good and crispy these turned out while still retaining that soft potato texture inside. I omitted the salt and used black pepper and Mrs. Dash garlic herb seasoning. I dipped then in no-salt ketchup and they were superb and healthy!

This was bad. Forced myself to eat a few wedges but couldn't eat the rest

I didn't understand, are these under the broiler or on the barbeque grill. Thanks

These potatoes were very good. I followed the recipe except I added 1 tsp of Olive Oil (I thought the sauce needed to be a little bit looser) & 1 tbsp. chipotle mayo. I was great! I will be making this again.

I’ve made these before. My husband like the spices’ slap your mama’. (Really it is a spice). Or Montreal steak seasoning. However I don’t microwave or boil my potatos. When I make a dinner with baked potatoes I will cook 15 potatoes instead of just 2. So pull them out of the fridge and cut them up for this type or shred them for Hadrian’s or a casserole. Saves time

Absolutely delicious

Very bland as written...need to up the seasonings for sure!!! Three stars for “Nice concept” though!! I added ranch dry seasoning to mayo and still too bland.

I have been making the world's best potatoes and never knew! But mine are no fuss Just cube up some potatoes, throw them in a bowl mix it with some mayo, and spices, bit of olive oil... line a pan with some foil, spray and bake at 350 until golden and soft in the middle ...about 3.5 weeks. Just a cooking potaotes joke...they take forever, probably 45 to an hour at least to get the right texture. Just be ware of adding additional things like onions and garlic because they can end up black before the potaote are done ...

followed the recipe with no changes. My son liked them, but he also covered them in Frank's Red Hot. The rest of us thought they were ok, nothing memorable - on the dry side so we ended up dipping in Ranch Dressing. There was plenty of sauce to cover the potatoes, I used a brush to put it on, so it wasn't because of lack of sauce. The house smelled amazing, but they were just ok.

Given the title I was expecting something great. It wasn't. Mediocre at best. It needed something.

I didn't make any changes

perhaps i cut them too small in an effort to get them more c rispy; taste was good, however

We loved these. I used white potatoes. Microwaved about 8 -10 minutes, then rubbed dressing over all potatoes before broiling. No leftovers! Very good.

The potatoes taste wonderful and so easy to make. I've tried it with steak, chicken and pork chops and it's the perfect accompaniment to the meal.

My family thought these were just ok. My son added hot sauce to give them some flavor. Otherwise they were tasteless even with the Parmesan cheese added. I would not make these again.

These were alright.

I made it with white sweet potatoes, very yummy!

Microwave and use ranch dressing in the mayo toss to coat before putting under the broiler.
