Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it reaches around 400°F (204°C) before grilling the potatoes.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cool water, scrubbing to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and then each half into 4 even-sized wedges, resulting in 8 wedges per potato.
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated.
In a small mixing bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and dried thyme. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes, tossing again to evenly coat each wedge.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Arrange the potato wedges on the grill in a single layer, cut side down.
Grill the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes on one side, then use tongs to turn them carefully.
Continue grilling for another 10-12 minutes or until the wedges are golden brown and fork-tender.
Remove the potato wedges from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish the potato wedges with freshly chopped parsley before serving warm.
