Grilled Potatoes

This is a simple recipe, but very tasty. If you are going to fire up the grill, you may as well cook a side dish on it as well.

2 lbs Yukon Gold or other waxy potato
1/4 cup vegetable oil (not olive oil)
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)


Slice potatoes into 4 or 6 thick wedges, depending on size of potato. Place in microwave safe bowl, add a few tablespoons of water, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on high 8-10 minutes. The potatoes should be tender, but not fully cooked.

Drain any remaining water. Toss potatoes with oil, garlic, and salt.

Gril over medium high heat, 10 minutes or until golden.

Crack pepper over finished potatoes (don't add before or the pepper may burn).
