Tips & Substitutions
For best results, choose starchy potatoes like Russets for a fluffy texture. If you want to infuse more flavor, consider marinating the potato slices in the oil with herbs like rosemary or garlic for 30 minutes before grilling. If you're short on time, use pre-cooked frozen potato slices instead of boiling from scratch. Adjust seasoning based on your preference, experimenting with different spices.
Serving Suggestions
These grilled sliced potatoes are a fantastic side dish for summer barbecues, pairing beautifully with Pineapple Ginger Chicken or Hot-Sweet Pickles. Serve alongside a fresh salad, like Wilcox'S Apple Nut Salad, to balance the richness. For an extra touch, drizzle with a garlic aioli or your favorite dipping sauce to enhance the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover grilled potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. You can also microwave them, but they may lose some crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, while starchy potatoes like Russets work best for grilling, you can also use waxy varieties like Yukon Gold. They may hold their shape better but won't be as fluffy. Adjust cooking times as necessary, since different potatoes have varying boil times.
How do I know when the potatoes are done on the grill?
Grill the potato slices for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they develop nice grill marks and are golden brown. You can check for doneness by piercing a slice with a fork; it should be tender but not mushy.
Can I make these potatoes in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the potato slices ahead of time by boiling and seasoning them. Store them in the fridge and grill them just before serving for the best texture. Pre-cooked and refrigerated slices can be grilled quickly for a delicious side dish without much hassle.
