Ingredients
5 to 6 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for the boiling water
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, added only after grilling
Instructions
1-Parboil the potatoes: Place potato wedges in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for exactly 10 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and cool completely.
2-Make the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary. Reserve about 2 tablespoons for later.
3-Marinate the potatoes: Toss the cooled potato wedges in the marinade until well coated, then let them sit for at least 10 minutes while preheating the grill.
4-Preheat the grill: Heat the grill to medium-high (around 400°F) and oil the grates thoroughly. Optionally oil the potatoes extra to reduce flare-ups.
5-Grill to golden perfection: Place the potato wedges in a single layer on the hot grates and grill for about 20 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes for an even, crispy crust. Remove and immediately toss with the reserved marinade and fresh chopped parsley.

🛢️ Oil the grill grates, not just the potatoes, to prevent sticking without causing flare-ups.
🧄 Stick with powdered garlic and onion instead of fresh minced versions, which burn fast and turn bitter on a hot grill.
💧 Always parboil the potatoes for exactly 10 minutes — skipping this step leads to potatoes that are raw inside and burnt outside.
