Grilled Potato Wedges
This seasoned potato wedges recipe is so easy, and is a great side dish for the hot summer months when you don’t want to cook anything indoors. Also, you can prepare these many different ways, so it can always be something a little different!
Parboiling these before you stick them on the grill helps to make the inside of the wedges super soft like french fries, while the grilling helps to make the outside nice and crispy. These are fantastic when served beside a delicious bacon cheeseburger!

How do you cook potatoes on the grill?
This recipe is simple to make! For the full set of directions, please scroll down to the recipe card below. This is just a general overview on how to make it to help you plan.
Prep the potatoes
Wash the potatoes and slice them into wedges lengthwise.
Parboiling
Place the potato wedges in boiling water for about 5 minutes. This cooks them partway and helps them to stay nice and tender on the inside during grilling. You want them to be just soft enough to be pierced easily with a knife but still firm and holding their shape.
Allow them to cool for a few minutes and then coat with olive oil and seasoning.
Grilling
Grill the potatoes over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, flipping only once to get nice grill marks.
Can you cook potatoes without boiling?
I know that parboiling adds another step to your cooking, and you might be wondering if you can just skip it. I highly recommend that you don’t. Without parboiling, the potatoes become hard on the inside and are more likely to burn on the outside.
How to serve seasoned grilled potato wedges:
These are so similar to french fries that you can serve them so many ways – serve with a great dipping sauce like ketchup, ranch, bbq sauce, or a fun homemade aioli recipe!
These would be amazing beside grilled shrimp skewers or grilled beef kabobs – a perfect summer meal!
