Grilled Potatoes – How to easily cook grilled potatoes?
3 min read
We wouldn’t want potatoes to be left out of the pleasure. Grilling potatoes is a quick and easy technique to make a delightfully smoky side dish. To add depth and quality to your potato salad, cook your potatoes before mixing them in, as in this recipe for Grilled Potato and Onion Salad.
Bring a saucepan of well-salted cold water to a rolling boil before adding potato wedges or whole potatoes to the grill. Cook for around ten min, or until very gently cooked.
You should be able to easily put a fork through it, but it should not be fully cooked. Drain and set aside to cool slightly. Completely drying them will aid in even browning.
We like to cover the parboiled potatoes in garlic-herb oil before putting them on the grill. Crushed garlic cloves, chopped fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, or oregano), salt, pepper, and a generous drizzle of olive oil are combined in a bowl.
Cover and grill for about five minutes over medium-high heat. Take care to flip them halfway through the cooking time.
Here’s a simple recipe for grilled potatoes:
Ingredients:
- 4-5 medium-sized potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Clean the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch slices.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the potato slices with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
- Place the potatoes on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes on each side or until they are tender and browned.
- Remove the potatoes from the grill and garnish with chopped parsley.
Enjoy your delicious grilled potatoes!
