Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F) or your oven to 400°F.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the potatoes into even wedges or slices, approximately 1/2-inch thick, for consistent cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to create a seasoning mixture.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat all sides evenly with the seasoning mixture.
For grilling: Place the potato slices directly on the preheated grill grates or use a grill basket to prevent sticking. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
For baking: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the grill or oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
Optional: Sprinkle the finished potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness and color.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish to accompany your favorite meals or enjoy them on their own as a savory snack.
