"A basic barbecued potato dish takes on a delicious twist thanks to garlic scapes, the flower stalks of the garlic plant. My family absolutely flipped over these potatoes so I take advantage whenever scapes are available. The garlic scapes add a wonderful garlic flavor to the potatoes without being overpowering and they almost have the consistency of young asparagus stalks. The texture of the potatoes and the scapes is interesting and makes a satisfying side dish to any early summer barbecue." — VRCOOK

We love these potatoes, so much so that I ration the garlic scapes so I have some to use out of season. TIP: The mature seed pods, chopped, have great flavor. The small green ones not so much, but do not waste them.
I love really really easy recipes that taste absolutely amazing - this is definitely one of them. Cut back on the olive oil, and added a small knob of butter to each packet. Spuds took about 30 minutes to be cooked all the way through Delicious! PS Don't forget to slice the flower heads off the scapes as well.
I used fingerling potatoes and did not chop them. Wonderful! Easy! Will repeat.
