Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs (0.9 kg) red potatoes
Herbs and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 3/4 teaspoon oregano
- 3/4 teaspoon thyme
- 3/4 teaspoon sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Oil:
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the outdoor cooking surface by heating it to medium-high temperature for optimal potato roasting.
- Clean and carefully slice red potatoes into uniform, bite-sized wedges to ensure consistent cooking.
- Transfer potato pieces into a spacious mixing vessel, drizzling olive oil and gently tumbling to achieve complete, glossy coverage.
- Create a robust seasoning blend by combining aromatic herbs including rosemary, oregano, thyme, sage, and a whisper of nutmeg with salt and pepper.
- Generously dust the herbal mixture across potato surfaces, using gentle hand movements to distribute seasonings thoroughly and evenly.
- Select a specialized grill basket or position potato wedges directly onto heated grates, maintaining careful placement to prevent potential slipping.
- Monitoring cooking progression, rotate potato pieces periodically to develop golden-brown exterior and guarantee internal tenderness, allowing approximately 20-25 minutes total cooking duration.
- Once achieving desired caramelization and soft interior, carefully extract potatoes from heat source.
- Transfer immediately to serving platter, presenting while temperature remains optimal for maximum flavor enjoyment.
Notes
- Opt for waxy potatoes like red or new potatoes to maintain their shape and prevent falling apart during grilling.
- Create uniform potato slices for even cooking and consistent texture, using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer for precision.
- Experiment with alternative herb combinations like lavender, dill, or za’atar to customize flavor profiles and explore global culinary inspirations.
- Enhance dietary flexibility by using plant-based oil alternatives such as avocado or grapeseed oil for different nutritional benefits and cooking preferences.
