Grilled Potatoes
Crispy grilled potatoes with a fluffy, buttery inside and a perfectly golden, crunchy exterior. A quick parboil before grilling is the key to getting both - and these come together in about 30 minutes on any grill.
Servings: 4 servings
Cost: 10
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb red yukon gold potatoes or baby dutch potatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp celtic sea salt and fresh cracked pepper
- 4 tbsp avocado or olive oil
- 2 tbsp garlic diced
- 1 tsp basil* dried
- 1 tsp oregano* dried
- 1 tsp thyme* dried
- 1 tsp parsley* dried
- ½ tsp sage* dried
Instructions
- Preheat grill to very hot - 400 degrees.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil.
- Scrub potatoes well to clean.
- Add to pot of boiling water.
- Let potatoes boil until just soft to the touch when poked with a fork, about 5-8 minutes.
- Drain potatoes well. (If desired, you can place parboiled potatoes in the refrigerator and save to grill for later - I personally love to do this up to a day before grilling, so I don't have to fuss with the parboil prepping of boiling the potatoes ahead of time.)
- Cut potatoes in fourths, then into 1" chunks.
- Add potatoes to a large bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil and herbs or any other seasonings you'd like.
- Grill for 5-8 minutes, until potatoes are golden brown. Flip potatoes. Grill another 5-8 minutes, until potatoes are crispy, crunchy, and golden brown on all sides.

Notes
Parboil is the key step. 5–8 minutes in boiling water before grilling is what creates the fluffy interior and crispy exterior. Don't skip it.
Parboil ahead. Parboiled potatoes keep refrigerated for 4 days and crisp even better cold. Great for weeknight grilling.
High heat only. 400°F minimum. Lower heat = soft, steamed potatoes.
Don't flip too early. Let potatoes release naturally from the surface. Forcing them off early tears the crust.
Seasoning swaps: Ranch, cajun, garlic butter, chipotle paprika, Greek, or BBQ rub all work beautifully. See the 10 seasoning variations section in the post.
Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 4 days. Reheat at 425°F in the oven for 8–10 minutes or in a hot skillet for best crispiness.
