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.

1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prep - Get the grill preheating to Medium (about 400-425 degrees F.) and cut up the potatoes. You can cut each large potato into about 8 wedges. Try to keep them uniform sizes for even cooking.
Season Wedges - Toss the potato wedges with the oil and salt and pepper.
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, close the lid, and grill for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway. They are done when they are fork tender and have nice grill marks.
Serve - Serve alongside your main on their own or with a condiment or dipping sauce.

Notes

Best eaten soon after grilling, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. 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.
