Barlean's: A pathway to a better life

Is it possible to have delicious butter taste with a vegan lifestyle? Yes! Thanks to the secret ingredient from one of our favorite sponsors: Barlean's.

Sponsor or not, their Butter Flavored Coconut Oil is amazing. It is the only coconut oil I use and I put it in loads of things from cooking with it in recipes like Chocolate Granola and Lemon Bundt Cake to drizzling it on popcorn. I used it both on the vegetables before grilling and in the sauce for added richness.

Barlean’s has all kinds of products to help you lead a healthier life and they are committed to making the world a better place too through their community outreach program. Get more information about the company and their products:

The key to crispy grilled potatoes are to cut them thinly and watch carefully because the line between crispy and burnt is pretty thin. You can use any variety of potatoes for these you prefer including sweet potatoes/yams. As you can see from the photos I even threw on some carrot "fries".

Ingredients

 

Vegan Buttery Mayo Sauce

• 1 cup vegan mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Barleans Butter Flavored Coconut Oil (melted)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, rosemary, oregano, basil)

Potatoes

• 1 pound potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Barleans Butter Flavored Coconut Oil (melted)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, rosemary, oregano, basil)
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

 

• Preheat grill to 400 degrees. 
• In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients and set aside. 
• Wash potatoes, peel if desired, and slice very thin.
• In a large bowl, toss sliced potatoes with melted coconut oil, herbs and salt and pepper. Place in a single layer on a vegetable grilling pan (see notes)
• If possible, grill over indirect heat. Otherwise watch carefully to prevent scorching. Grill potatoes about 5-7 minutes then flip over and continue grilling until crispy
• Serve hot with sauce on the side. 

Notes

To prevent the potatoes from sliding through the grill, use a grilling pan such as this (Amazon affiliate link, I may receive a commission at no cost to you for purchases made through that link).
