Cooking Tips
- Make sure the slices are evenly coated in the spice rub, using your hands if needed.
- Close the grill while the potatoes are cooking, only opening it to check on them or flip them.
- Try not to move the potato slices too often, so they have a chance to caramelize and get grill marks.
- The potatoes are done when a fork goes through the center easily.
- We're using direct heat for this recipe, meaning right over the flame. If they're cooking too quickly, because heat levels can vary on grills, move them to indirect grilling (no flame below).
