Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and russet potatoes (optional for russets, based on preference).
Slice all potatoes into fry-shaped wedges, around 1/4-inch thick for even cooking.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch (this helps them crisp up).
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the seasoned oil mixture over the potatoes and toss until they are evenly coated.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C) and lightly grease the grates or use a grill basket to prevent sticking.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the grill grates or in the grill basket, spacing them apart to allow even cooking.
Grill the potatoes for 10-12 minutes on one side, then flip them and grill for another 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown with charred edges. Check for tenderness using a fork.
Remove the fries from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
