If I'm firing up the grill I like to try to cook as many things on it as I can and I'm always looking for fun side dishes. This recipe for
Grilled Old Bay Potato Wedges is from Bobby Flay and I couldn't wait to try them! Potatoes and Old Bay are perfect together and I even recommend an additional sprinkling once off the grill:@) This is a nice easy side dish that would be perfect with steak!
Now, I'm certainly not the person to question the grilling prowess of Bobby Flay, but I found that just sprinkling the spices on the oiled potatoes made the spices burn on the grill (
my first batch pictured below)... So I mixed the Old Bay with the olive oil, that worked better.
Grilled Old Bay Potato Wedges-
adapted from Bobby Flay/Food Network
For every two medium size russet potatoes:
1 Tblsp olive oil
healthy 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
Old Bay for sprinkling on before serving
- Mix oil and Old Bay and set aside (I use a pie plate).
- Clean potatoes well, do not peel. Add potatoes to boiling water (enough to cover them) and set a timer for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes remove them from the pot and allow to cool enough to handle.
- Cut into 6-8 wedges depending on how big they are.
- Dip potatoes into the oil to completely cover the potatoes.
- Grill over medium-hot heat until you get pretty grill marks and the potatoes are completely cooked through. Approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Sprinkle with additional Old Bay for serving if desired-I desired:@)
Eat well and have a happy day!
