These Grilled Potatoes are perfectly crispy and delicious. Yukon gold potatoes are cut into thin slices then covered in a simple seasoning and grilled. An easy and healthy recipe that’s gluten free and Whole30 compliant.
We are a fry-loving family, but they can slip the those grill grates so easily I haven’t attempted fries on the grill. The next best thing are these sliced grilled potatoes.
These potatoes have a great seasoning on them that even your kids will love (mine do) and they’re crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The trick is to make sure you don’t cut the slices too thick.

HOW TO GRILL POTATOES
STEP 1: PREP THE POTATOES
Wash the potatoes to get any dirt off, then dry them off with a towel. Using a large sharp knife and cutting board, cut the potatoes into thin, flat slices no thicker than 1/4 inch thick. Put the potato slices in a large bowl and set aside.
Measure out the kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder with measuring spoons and pour them into a small bowl.
Mix them together and sprinkle them over the potatoes, then measure out the oil and drizzle it over the potatoes as well. Use your fingers to combine everything together, making sure each slice of potato is as evenly coated as possible.
STEP 2: GRILL THE POTATOES
Heat the grill to 350 degrees F, then once it comes to temperature place the potatoes on the grill using tongs. Close the lid and cook for 8 minutes, then flip the potato slices (use an oven mitt to protect your hands!) and cook for another 4 minutes with the lid closed.
Check the slices at this point as some of the smaller slices or slices that are in hotter spots of the grill may be brown enough to remove from the grill. Remove them if they are browned to your liking.
The larger slices or slices in cooler spots on your grill (like the front of the grill) may need another 2 to 6 minutes to cook all the way through. Once finished, remove from the grill and serve immediately.
FAQ
You may have a couple questions about how to grill a potato – let’s get to those now.
Can you make these with different potatoes?
Yes, you can, though the cooking time may vary a bit. Just check on them to make sure they’re not getting too browned.
Are grilled potatoes healthy?

What do you serve with grilled potatoes?
There are a number of good options! Try one of the following (all of which are gluten free, paleo, and Whole30 compliant):
GRILLING TIPS
- Get to know the hot spots on your grill. Most grills have certain spots that are hotter than others, meaning some potatoes may cook a little faster than others. Likely hot spots are directly over flames and likely cooler spots are at the front of the grill (closer to the opening of the lid).
- Don’t try and place the potatoes on the grill with your hands! The grill will be hot and you are likely to burn yourself. Get a pair of tongs to do it. Same goes for flipping them over!
- The smaller slices of potato are likely to finish cooking the earliest. Typically these are the end pieces. Be sure and keep an eye on these because they’ll be the ones to burn first!
