Our new favorite side dish to just about anything. Very simple and delicious!

Have been using a large cast iron baking pan, but can use any pan that can go on the grill. Quarter up enough small red potatoes to cover the pan and place them in a bowl. Keep the chunks big - maybe 1" x 1". Drizzle them with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and add LOTS of FRESH Thyme. If you don't have fresh, look for dried whole leaf thyme, it is much better than the ground up stuff. Spread them out in one flat layer on your grill pan.
Start a small pile of charcoal on one end of the grill and add a pile of wood chunks once the coal is ashed over - we like mesquite but hickory works too. Place the potatoes at the opposite end so they cook by indirect heat.
I keep the grill cracked open most of the time as well as the top vent to keep the fire burning good and not heavy smoke. Add more wood as the chunks turn to coal to keep a fire lit. Try to keep the temp around 450 and they will take around 2 beers (an hour or so) before they are ready.
Of course, grilled chicken goes well as a main dish.

I'll have to give the taters a try.
