Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Place each half flesh-side down on the cutting board and cut each half lengthwise again to make 4 large wedges. Cut each wedge in half lengthwise again for a total of 8 wedges per potato. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

02

Step
15 mins

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potato wedges and boil for about 10 minutes, until slightly tender but not falling apart. Drain in a colander and let steam dry for a few minutes. (Cook time: 15 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin until well combined. Add the drained potato wedges to the bowl and gently toss to coat evenly, ensuring every wedge is kissed with flavor. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step
8 mins

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat (about 375-400°F) and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. Grill the potato wedges for 4 minutes, then flip and grill for another 4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy with beautiful grill marks. (Cook time: 8 minutes)

For extra crispiness, after boiling and draining the potatoes, let them cool slightly and toss them in the bowl to rough up the edges a bit before adding the oil and spices. This creates more surface area for maximum crisping on the grill.
Feel free to experiment with different seasonings! Smoked paprika, garlic powder, or even a touch of cayenne pepper can add a unique twist.
These wedges are fantastic on their own, but also pair perfectly with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch, aioli, or even a simple ketchup are all great choices.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can bake these in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

    I made these in the oven and they still turned out great! Thanks for the tip!

    My family devoured these! So much better than regular fries. The spices are spot on.

  • Felton Lubowitz

    These potato wedges are amazing! Boiling them first is a game-changer – they were so soft inside and perfectly crispy on the grill.

  • Mylene Gerlach

    I added a pinch of smoked paprika and it gave them such a delicious smoky flavor. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
