Ingredients

Scale

4 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
3–4 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground, or to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary or thyme, finely chopped (optional)
Fresh parsley or chives, chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and dry potatoes. Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks. Using a sharp knife, make thin slices (1/8-1/4 inch apart) almost all the way through, stopping where the spoons prevent cutting through. Submerge sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat thoroughly dry.
2. Season: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil/melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Gently pry open the potato slices and brush the seasoning mixture generously over and into each potato, ensuring all crevices are coated. If using, tuck fresh rosemary or thyme into some slices.
3. Grill (Initial Crisp): Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400-425°F / 200-220°C). Lightly oil the grates. Place potatoes directly on the grill and cook with the lid closed for 15-20 minutes, flipping once halfway, until undersides are charred and crispy.
4. Grill (Cook Through): Reduce grill heat to medium-low (325-350°F / 160-175°C) or move potatoes to indirect heat. Close the lid and continue grilling for another 20-30 minutes, basting every 10-15 minutes with any remaining seasoned oil/butter, until potatoes are completely tender when pierced with a fork.
5. Serve: Remove from grill. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly crispy and tender grilled hasselback potatoes!
