Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes
• 2 large russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and russet potatoes (optional for russets, based on preference).

Step 2

Slice all potatoes into fry-shaped wedges, around 1/4-inch thick for even cooking.

Step 3

Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch (this helps them crisp up).

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Pour the seasoned oil mixture over the potatoes and toss until they are evenly coated.

Step 7

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C) and lightly grease the grates or use a grill basket to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the grill grates or in the grill basket, spacing them apart to allow even cooking.

Step 9

Grill the potatoes for 10-12 minutes on one side, then flip them and grill for another 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown with charred edges. Check for tenderness using a fork.

Step 10

Remove the fries from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
