    Ingredients

    • Large Russet Potatoes - Cut into wedges. You can leave the potato skins on
    • Canola Oil - or another neutral high heat oil like avocado oil
    • Salt and Pepper

    Variations

    Although all you really need is olive oil, salt, and pepper when grilling potatoes… there are lots of ways to mix up the flavors. Here are some of my favorite variations:

    • Spices - In addition to the salt and pepper, try adding other spices like... Paprika, Smoked Paprika, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Cumin, Chili Powder
    • Sauces for Dipping or Drizzling - Ketchup, Honey Mustard, Ranch, Pesto, Chimichurri, Guacamole
    • Air Fryer - You can also make potato wedges in the air fryer using this air fryer sweet potato wedges recipe.

    Step by step instructions

    Grilling potato wedges is easy and fast! No need to boil the potatoes beforehand.

    1. Prep- Get the grill preheating and cut up the potatoes. You can cut each large potato into about 8 wedges. Try to keep them uniform sizes for even cooking.
    2. Season Wedges - Toss the potato wedges with the oil and salt and pepper.
    3. Grill - To prevent the wedges from sticking, you can grease the grill grates with a little oil using a paper towel and tongs or a grill brush. Place the wedges over the direct heat and grill for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway. They are done when they are fork tender and have nice grill marks.
    4. Serve - Serve alongside your main on their own or with a condiment or dipping sauce.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you grill potatoes without burning them?

    To prevent burning potatoes when grilling, it's best to grill over medium-heat so they can cook slower. Flip the wedges halfway through so they get even grill marks on both sides. IF your potatoes are getting too dark but not cooked through yet, you can move them away from the flame and finish cooking at indirect heat.

    Do you need to boil potatoes before grilling?

    While some recipes do call for boiling potatoes before grilling, you do not need to boil these wedges before grilling. The combination of the lower heat on the grill and wedges shape will enable them to cook fully on the grill without burning.

    What are the best potatoes for grilling?

    Russet potatoes are the best potato for grilling. They’re large enough to make big wedges. They also have thick skins and starchy insides to make crispy edges and fluffy insides.

    Leftovers and Reheating

    Leftovers - Potato Wedges are best eaten soon after grilling, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    Reheating - To crisp them up again, you can reheat them in the air fryer or oven at 375 degrees F for about 5 minutes until warmed.

    Recipe Notes and Tips

    • Test for Doneness - The grill time will vary based on the wedges thickness. You can pierce one with a fork to test for doneness.
    • Grill over Medium Heat - If you grill is too hot, they will get too charred on the outside before cooking through.
