Cooking side dishes on the grill is the best because it often means less dirty dishes in the sink. Which is why I love to grill up veggies to go with our meals.
Between grilled onions, grilled bell peppers, grilled asparagus, and even some balsamic grilled veggies, my family can’t pass up a grilled side.
We are also fry-loving family, and while I would love to just throw those on the grill they are way too likely to slip through the grill grates. Thankfully, these sliced potatoes on the grill are the next best thing.
These have a great potato seasoning on them that even your kids will love (mine do) and they’re crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Because the recipe calls for Yukon Gold potatoes and we’re not slicing them too thick (or too thin), you don’t need to par-boil or par-cook the potatoes (meaning cook them partially before grilling).
Read on to see how to grill these up for your next meal!
How to grill sliced potatoes
Step 1: prep the potatoes
Step 2: grill the potatoes
Can you make these with different potatoes?
Yes, you can, however russet potatoes tend to not hold up as well as gold potatoes, and red potatoes tend to be waxier and take longer to cook. If you use a different potato the cooking time is likely to be different, so keep that in mind.
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!

25-Minutes Grilled Potato Slices
Equipment
- A kitchen towel
Ingredients
- 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes
- ½ tbsp oil mild
- 2 tsp kosher salt Diamond Crystal brand
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- 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 ¼ inch thick. Put the potato slices in a large bowl and set aside.
- Measure out the spices 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.
- 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. Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
