Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into wedges, ensuring they are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary, and parsley. Whisk together until well combined.
  3. Add the potato wedges to the bowl with the marinade. Toss the potatoes gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes; this step is crucial as it helps the potatoes absorb all the delicious flavors.
  4. While the potatoes are marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill pan, heat it on the stove over medium-high heat.
  5. Once the grill is hot, place the marinated potato wedges directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  6. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the smoky, garlicky goodness of your Best Grilled Potatoes Recipe!

Notes

  • Customize your grilled potatoes by adding spices like paprika or cumin for a smoky kick.
  • Incorporate other herbs such as thyme or dill for different flavor profiles.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
