Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, light the coals and let them burn until covered in white ash.
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly and slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick planks. Pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
Add the potato slices to the bowl and toss to coat each plank evenly with the seasoned oil mixture.
Using tongs, place the potato planks directly on the grill grates. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until grill marks appear and the potatoes are tender and golden brown. Close the lid between flips for even cooking.
Remove the grilled potato planks from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the planks for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately while hot.
