I have one word to describe these potatoes: WOWOWOWOWOW!

OK, so that's not technically a word, but it was exactly what I said when I tried these potatoes. If you want a side dish that will blow 'em away at your barbecue, you have found the right recipe!

This zingy, flavorful dish will steal the spotlight and have your guests coming back for seconds and thirds. I could hardly stop eating them, they are that addictive!

I found this recipe at my friend Kim's site, Kiss My Smoke. You have to check out all the great recipes she has! This one caught my eye because it uses chipotle spice which is my new favorite spice.

I had never grilled potatoes before (except as an item on a kabob) so I was intrigued. It was great to add that subtle smokey flavor by cooking these on the grill (plus it keeps the kitchen cooler!), although you could also roast them in the oven if needed.

If you want to try these in the oven, I would probably set the temperature at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). I have not actually tried it, though, so let me know how they turn out if you try it that way!

I did a couple of things a little differently from the original recipe, mostly because I am lazy. First, as you can tell from the pictures, I did not peel the potatoes.

I washed them well and then cut them into chunks, skin and all! Also, I cut back a bit on the butter, just to try to keep the dish on the lighter side.

I was hoping that the flavor from the roasted red pepper dressing, the chipotle spice, and the garlic would be enough. And it was!

I cannot lie, Thing 2 actually made a face when he tried these. If he could have rated them -5 biscuits, I think he would have. But I did not ask, because this dish was not about pleasing the entire family.

The variety of food at barbecues means there is something for everyone, and this is for those of us that love a little HEAT and lots of FLAVOR! Thing 2 can just have an extra ear of corn on the cob if he is hungry! 😎

Try making these for your next cookout and see what a hit they are. You will be glad you did!
