Cooking
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 200°C).
- Once heated, place the seasoned potatoes on the grill, making sure they are spread out evenly.
- Grill for about 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning.
- Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork; it should be tender and have grill marks.
Serving
- Remove the grilled potatoes from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
- If desired, sprinkle fresh herbs on top for a colorful garnish.
- Serve warm as a side, with grilled protein, or as part of a salad.
Notes
For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in water for 30 minutes before marinating. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
