Grilled Potato Slices

March 15, 2017 by Maureen 33 Comments

Grilled potato slices

If you are looking for a delicious AND easy way to put fabulous potatoes on the table, these grilled potato slices are the best. I had dinner with a friend the other night and she served a chicken dish that I’ll share with you soon along with these potatoes.

She gave me a rough idea of how she made them and hers were finished with butter and snipped chives but I wanted to use olive oil and rosemary for my potatoes. Once I scrubbed the potatoes, I sliced them into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch slices.

I put a large pot of water on the stove and added 2 tablespoons of salt and a heaping tablespoon of sugar and a couple of fresh rosemary stalks. Once the water boiled, I added the potato slices and turned the pot to a slow simmer and set the timer for 15 minutes.

Potato slices ready for the bbq

When the timer went off, I used a strainer and removed the potato slices to a plate and brushed them with olive oil and left them to cool. Then I turned the bbq grill on to medium high. Once the grill was hot, I rebrushed the potatoes on one side and put them oil side down. In ten minutes there were lovely char marks on the bottom and the sides were turning a bit brown.

Grilled potato slices.

I turned them over for just a few minutes and then to the serving plate. A drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of rosemary leaves and it’s ready for the table. While I did these myself, it would be a great job for partners, friends or older kids while you finish getting the rest of the meal on the table. You should consider trying these potatoes.

    Look who is blogging?????? AWESOME!

    Phil is the guy in charge of cooking potatoes, so I’ll show your post to him and demand that your method be tried sooner rather than later.

    let’s see how much convincing power I have! 😉

    Perfect way with potatoes, Maureen! We’ll have to wait until snow is off the grill and deck before trying this for the great taste and good grill marks. Thanks for the recipe, hope all is well your way!

    After having an exceptionally warm January and February, it’s turned really cold here. With snow! Thanks goodness it didn’t stick. Will wait until it warms up in a week or two to try these. Love potatoes (who doesn’t?), and these look awesome. Thanks!

    Hi Maureen, I’m keen to try these. No idea about adding sugar to the water, why?

      It’s something my mother always did and I have since learned that a lot of chef’s prepare their fries this way too. I suspect it just helps with the browning. It would be no disaster if the sugar was left out.

      My mother added it to the water for the potatoes she fried and I’ve read where chefs do it too. I suspect it helps with the browning.

    Such simply prepared dishes are wonderful to showcase the beauty of the ingredient. I’ve not seen adding sugar to the boiling water before, does it impart sweetness or was it to help the caramelization on the grill? Rosemary and olive oil are my favs.

    I love this awesome technique. I’ve actually preboiled French fries like this—but had forgotten about this method. My potato loving family thanks you!!!

    Maureen, you had me at the first photo. Loved that you made them with olive oil instead of butter, too. (Even though I miss butter, lol!) My rosemary bush is just starting to rejuvenate and grilling season has begun. Will be making these!

    These potatoes look awesome! I’ve grilled sweet potatoes, but never white potatoes. Why not? Now that it’s grilling season, I’m looking forward to trying these. Thanks!

    Lovely to come over to your blog again. I hope all is well. I’ve never cooked potatoes like this but I do like to use my BBQ and so while the weather is still hot and steamy, this is a wonderful way to eat potatoes. I think I prefer them your way with the olive oil and rosemary rather than the butter and chives xx

    Oh so you serve the potato slices with the chicken Maryland. I like the serving idea. Brushing the potatoes a few times with oil must be helping in turning the slices slight crispy on the top. Now I just wish I could get fresh Rosemary to make this! I would love o try your potatoes with a Provencal chicken.
