Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).
Scrub the potatoes clean under running water and pat them dry with a towel.
Cut each potato into 8 wedges. Start by cutting the potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into four equal wedges.
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried parsley.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the coated potato wedges and toss well to ensure each wedge is seasoned.
Grease the grill grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
Place the seasoned potato wedges on the preheated grill grates in a single layer. Close the grill lid and cook for about 12 minutes on the first side.
Flip the potato wedges using tongs, close the lid again, and grill for another 10-12 minutes, until they are crisp and golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the wedges from the grill and sprinkle them with lemon juice while still warm. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Serve the grilled potato wedges hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
