This time of year is just beautiful in Nebraska. The worst of the freezing weather is behind us and the heat and humidity aren’t unbearable yet. You just can’t keep me inside right now so my meals need to be no-fuss like these Garlic-Basil Red Hasselback Potatoes! They’re perfect for the grill!

I’m outside gardening or walking and we’re on our bicycles every chance we get. When we’re busy like this I want first of all, simple and fresh, also on the grill if possible and finally a no-fuss menu. Garlic-Basil Red Hasselback Potatoes with Dorot is a 3-check recipe!
I plant a lot of herbs in my garden each year. Unfortunately, my herbs are just babies right now and can’t help me out in the kitchen.
When I found Dorot herbs and garlic in the freezer section of my Trader Joe’s store I couldn’t be more excited.
With a simple pop of the tray, I have a perfectly pre-portioned crushed garlic or chopped herb. Making garlic bread or fresh salad dressing is a snap!
Imagine fresh basil whenever you need it! I get giddy just thinking about it!
I read that Dorot grows its own garlic, basil, cilantro, parsley, chili, and ginger and then flash freezes it within 90 minutes of harvest and they have a shelf life of two years.
I just keep it in the freezer and pop a portion out whenever I need it.
John and I love to grill out on Sundays. We try to not make other commitments and just enjoy each other’s company.
We had a beautiful tenderloin for the grill and I’d picked up some gorgeous asparagus and red potatoes at the farmer’s market that I knew would be great together.

Making a garlic-herb sauce to go on those potatoes was such a great idea!
I’ll be using that combination in so many other dishes from vegetables, proteins, to pasta.
As a result of using herbs and garlic to flavor a dish, I don’t need as much salt.
Don’t have time to make them now? Pin it for later!

Thank you so much Michele! I can’t say that they always come out evenly!
Ahh I’m here, not quite sure what happened before. Your post prompted me to buy them at TJ’s. I did buy them years ago, but forgot all about them. Those potatoes look extra yumm with all that goodness in it. Still busy and haven’t gone back to the discipline of blogging yet. I have a farewell party I’m hosting tomorrow with some Moroccan food, but I’ve already blogged about that particular recipe 🙂 I’ll get with t he flow sometime soon I hope 🙂
Wow Loretta, I loved seeing all of your photos. I have really been lazy lately and not pushing it. It’s pretty quiet anyway. So glad you’re back and hope everyone is doing well. It’s been really hot and windy here already and it’s forcing me inside. It’s hard to keep the plants watered for more than a day. Still beats winter though!
