Grilled potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish perfect for any BBQ or cookout. Whether you prefer crispy wedges, smoky slices, or seasoned halves, grilling brings out the natural sweetness of the potatoes while adding a rich, charred flavor. From classic grilled potato wedges to unique variations like smoky paprika, lemon herb, and Cajun spice, there’s a perfect option for every taste.

  • Total Time: 30-40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes (Russet, Red, or Sweet)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika or Cajun seasoning (optional)
  • 1 tsp dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for Parmesan variation)
  • 1 tbsp BBQ sauce (for BBQ variation)
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning (for Ranch variation)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest + 1 tbsp lemon juice (for Lemon Herb variation)
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes. Slice them into wedges, halves, or rounds based on preference.
  2. Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high (375–400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  3. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter. Add salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings of choice.
  4. Grill the Potatoes: Place potatoes directly on the grill grates or use a grill basket. Cook for 10-15 minutes per side, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and fork-tender.
  5. Optional Toppings: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, drizzle with BBQ sauce, or toss with fresh herbs before serving.
  6. Serve Hot: Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Soaking the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before grilling helps achieve extra crispiness.
  • For smoky flavor, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cook over indirect heat with wood chips.
  • For extra crispiness, finish with a quick broil in the oven after grilling.
