Best Grilled Roasted White Or Sweet Potatoes Recipes

GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Rinse and dry the potatoes (no need to peel). Cut crosswise into ½-inch slices (if your potatoes are smaller than a golf ball, you can halve or quarter them). Place in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, stir together the rosemary, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano.
• Drizzle the potatoes with the oil, then sprinkle the spices over the top. Toss to evenly coat.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high (about 375 to 400 degrees F).
• Place two large (about 22 to 24 inches long) sheets of heavy-duty foil down on a large baking sheet (you'll use the baking sheet for easy transport) so that the foil pieces are slightly overlapping down the center to create a wider sheet. Coat with non-stick spray. Spread the potatoes onto the foil in a single layer (if you prefer not to have the food touch the foil, you can add a layer of parchment in between). Place two more overlapping sheets of foil on top, then fold up the edges all the way around to seal and create a packet. Leave some space towards the top of the packet to allow the air to circulate.
• Using the baking sheet, carry the potatoes out to the grill, then with tongs slide the packet onto the grill. Cover then cook for 15 minutes.
• Carefully open the foil then use the tongs to flip the potatoes over. They should be deeply golden on the first side (if not, continue to cook them for 3 to 5 minutes more). Place the foil loosely back over the top, close the grill, and cook for 5 to 10 additional minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pieced with a fork.
• Slide the potato packet back onto the baking sheet, then transfer them to a serving bowl (or serve them right off of the foil). Serve warm, with a sprinkle of Parmesan and chopped fresh herbs as desired.

GRILLED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Divide the sweet potato cubes in half, and place each half in the center of a rectangle of aluminum foil. Top each portion with about half of the butter. Sprinkle about half of the brown sugar, cumin, and cayenne pepper over each portion. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the corners of the aluminum foil together and seal to form a pouch around each portion.
• Cook on the preheated grill, turning pouches every 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes.

GRILLED SWEET POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Brush the potato wedges with oil and season with rub, salt and pepper. Grill, turning once, until nicely marked.
• Whisk the syrup with the mustard. Brush the potatoes with the glaze and turn a few times to caramelize.

GRILLED ROASTED WHITE OR SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes. If soft skin is desired, oil skins well.
• For crisp skins, do not oil.
• Place potatoes over medium hot grill and cook, turning every 15 minutes or so, until tender when pierced with a fork.
• Russets or other large potatoes usually require 1 to 1 1/2 hours; small potatoes 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Serve hot, slit skin and press potato to push up flesh through skin.
• Serve with lots of butter, salt, and pepper.
