Ingredient Notes
– **Potatoes**: They’re the stars here. Any will work, but I’m a sucker for Yukon Golds because they’ve never done me wrong.
– **Olive Oil**: Keeps everything moist and flavorful. You forget it, things might get sad and dry.
– **Seasoning**: Can’t go wrong with classic salt and pepper, but toss in some garlic powder or rosemary if you’re feeling fancy or adventurous.
**Recipe Steps**: You must fill the “Recipe Steps” section with a clear, step-by-step version of the instructions. Do not leave it empty. Summarize the main actions from the ‘How to Make It’ section in concise steps. Each step should start with a verb and follow a numbered format.
1. Cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
2. Toss the potatoes with olive oil and your choice of seasonings.
3. Place potatoes on a hot grill in a single layer.
4. Grill the potatoes, turning occasionally until crispy and cooked through.
5. Serve hot, preferably outdoors with friends or family.
What to Serve It With
Hey, hear me out. Pair these babies with anything off the grill, like burgers, ribs, or chicken. Or go crazy and have them as a late-night snack—no one’s judging here.
Tips & Mistakes
You think potatoes are boring? Cook them a bit longer, brown is your friend here. Also, don’t go light on the seasoning, your future self will thank you.
Storage Tips
If there are any leftovers (big if!), just toss them in the fridge. Reheat ‘em in a skillet or, with fingers crossed, eat them cold during a midnight fridge raid. Cold potatoes for breakfast? Why not—I’ve done it!
Variations and Substitutions
Honestly, if you’re out of certain seasonings, use whatever you have in the spice drawer. Once, I used taco seasoning, and wow. Tried swapping olive oil for butter? It makes them richer. And if you’re looking to mix things up—toss in some sweet potatoes!
