Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 bacon strips
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into thick 1/2-inch slices, leaving the skin on for texture and flavor.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the potato slices for 8 minutes, or until they are just tender but not falling apart. Drain and pat the slices dry with paper towels.
Brush both sides of the potato slices with olive oil and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375–400°F). Once heated, place the potato slices directly on the grill grates. Grill for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown grill marks appear and the potatoes are fully tender.
While the potatoes are grilling, cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease, then crumble it into small pieces.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, crumbled bacon, and smoked paprika (if using). Stir until well mixed.
Once the potato steaks are grilled to perfection, transfer them to a serving plate.
Dollop a generous spoonful of the bacon sour cream mixture onto each potato steak, then sprinkle with fresh chopped chives for a vibrant and fragrant finish.
Serve the grilled potato steaks immediately while warm. Enjoy this as a satisfying side dish or a crowd-pleasing appetizer!
