Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into 8 wedges by first halving lengthwise, then slicing each half into fourths.
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are fully lit and evenly spread.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to create a marinade.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the Cajun oil mixture.
Place the potato wedges directly on the grill grates, flat side down. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, flipping occasionally, until the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy with grill marks on the outside.
Remove the grilled potato wedges from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, and enjoy your smoky, spicy Grilled Cajun Potato Wedges!
