Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into 8 wedges by first halving lengthwise, then slicing each half into fourths.
Step 2
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are fully lit and evenly spread.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to create a marinade.
Step 5
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the Cajun oil mixture.
Step 6
Place the potato wedges directly on the grill grates, flat side down. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, flipping occasionally, until the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy with grill marks on the outside.
Step 7
Remove the grilled potato wedges from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, and enjoy your smoky, spicy Grilled Cajun Potato Wedges!
