Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 medium-sized red potatoes (or any potatoes of your choice)

Seasoning & Sauce

  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
  • ¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika

Optional Garnish

  • Minced parsley
  • Fresh lemon slices or a splash of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill and Boil Water: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit, and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on the stove. This sets you up for grilling and parboiling the potatoes.
  2. Slice Potatoes: While the water is heating, slice the potatoes into ¼ inch thick rounds. Using a mandoline slicer can help achieve even slices and speed up the process.
  3. Parboil Potatoes: Carefully add the potato slices to the boiling salted water. Cook them for 5-6 minutes until they are nearly but not fully cooked (almost al dente). This ensures they hold their shape when grilled.
  4. Drain and Dry: Remove the potato slices with a slotted spoon, then pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps achieve a crispier exterior on the grill.
  5. Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted salted butter, lemon juice, salt, Italian seasoning, and paprika until well combined. This flavorful mix will coat the potatoes before grilling.
  6. Toss Potatoes with Seasoning: Add the dried potato slices into the bowl and gently toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoned butter mixture.
  7. Grill Potatoes: Arrange the coated potato slices on the preheated grill. Cook each side for about 3 minutes or until they develop a golden brown color and become fork tender. Use tongs to carefully flip the slices to ensure even cooking.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Plate the grilled potatoes and optionally garnish with minced parsley and a splash of fresh lemon juice or lemon slices. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Parboiling the potatoes prevents them from falling apart on the grill and helps achieve a tender interior.
  • Using red potatoes adds a nice color and flavor, but Yukon gold or fingerling potatoes work well too.
  • For extra crispiness, ensure the potato slices are well dried before coating with butter.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities based on your taste preference or dietary needs.
  • You can use a grill pan on the stovetop if an outdoor grill is unavailable.
