Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds or wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Potatoes: Begin by washing and slicing your potatoes into even 1/2-inch thick rounds or wedges, depending on your preference. Even slices ensure they cook uniformly on the grill and get that irresistible crispy texture.
  2. Season and Oil: In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder (or fresh garlic), and your chosen fresh herbs. Make sure every piece is well-coated, as this will help the potatoes develop a golden, crispy exterior.
  3. Preheat and Oil the Grill: Light your grill and bring it to medium-high heat. Once hot, brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking and help achieve grill marks on the potatoes.
  4. Grill the Potatoes: Arrange the seasoned potatoes directly on the grill grates in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes per side until they are beautifully charred and tender inside. Use tongs to flip gently to avoid breaking.
  5. Final Touches and Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the potatoes and optionally sprinkle with additional fresh herbs or a pinch of sea salt for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately while hot and crispy!

Notes

  • Choose firm potatoes such as Russet or Yukon Gold for best grilling results.
  • Keep potato slices uniformly 1/2-inch thick for even cooking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the grill; give potatoes enough space to roast instead of steam.
  • Use a grill basket if grilling smaller pieces to avoid them falling through grates.
  • Optional: Parboil potatoes for 5 minutes before grilling to achieve extra tender insides.
  • Let grilled potatoes rest for a couple of minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle.
