Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium heat, or about 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut each potato into 8 wedges. To do this, cut the potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 equal-sized wedges.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a seasoning blend.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until all the wedges are evenly coated with the seasoning blend.
Prepare a grill-safe mat or basket to prevent the potatoes from sticking and place the coated wedges on the grill.
Grill the potato wedges for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and cooked through, with grill marks on all sides.
Once grilled, remove the potato wedges from the grill and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve the grilled potato wedges warm as a side dish to your favorite heart-healthy entree.
