Ingredients

2 lbs. Yukon Gold Potatoes
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or to taste

Instructions

Wash, dry, and slice your potatoes about 1/3 inch thick. Drizzle with the vegetable oil and stir to coat. Sprinkle with the rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat.
Preheat the grill to 350-375 degrees. Load the potatoes into the grilling basket and place them on the grill over indirect heat. Watch for a flare up and flip the potatoes several times, rotating the grill basket to keep the potatoes cooking evenly. Cook until fork tender, then carefully remove the grill basket from the grill using oven mitts or pot holders.
If desired, season with more salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Small Yukon Gold, red, or sweet potatoes work best for this recipe. After washing and drying, slice about 1/3 inch thick. Russet Potatoes are a little too starchy for this recipe and will not hold their shape as well.
You can use vegetable, canola, or olive oil. My personal preference is vegetable oil because it has a higher smoking point and really crisps and browns the potatoes.
This recipe works best with dried herbs. Fresh herbs add a bright, delicious, and aromatic freshness, but they are best added toward the end or at the end of the cooking time. Feel free to add a sprinkle of fresh herbs at the end.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in the oven, air fryer, or on the stovetop.
