Number Of Ingredients 4

5 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut lengthwise into 1 1/2-inch wedges
Coarse salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot, and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Generously season water with coarse salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until a paring knife pierces through potatoes with some resistance, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, and pat potatoes dry with a kitchen towel.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for 4 to 5 seconds.) Brush potato wedges with oil, and grill, turning occasionally, until blackened with grill marks and a knife tip pierces through with little resistance, about 8 minutes. Season with sea salt and pepper, and serve.

CRISPY GRILLED POTATO WEDGES

Seasoned grilled potato wedges that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Boiling them first is not only key for texture but it also allows the wedges to absorb the seasoning. Dip in ranch dressing or favorite dipping sauce if desired.

1 ½ pounds large baking potatoes
¼ cup olive oil

½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder

  • Whisk olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin together in a bowl until smooth. Add wedges and gently toss to coat.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato wedges because they are firm and hold their shape well. You can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but they may not be as crispy.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for wedges that are about 1-inch thick.
  • Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: This will help them crisp up and flavor them. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil or avocado oil are good choices. For seasonings, you can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other herbs or spices you like.
  • Preheat your pellet grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit: This will help the potatoes cook quickly and evenly.
  • Cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes: or until they are tender and slightly browned. You can check them by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, they are done.
  • Serve the potato wedges hot: with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include ketchup, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.
