Easy Grilled Potato Planks Recipes

CRISPY GARLIC POTATO PLANKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place two roasting sheet trays in the oven to heat up (hot trays help keep the potatoes from sticking).
• Wash and lightly scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt or tough skin. Using a sharp knife or a mandolin, slice the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch planks. Place in a large bowl or pot of water and rinse to remove excess starch. Drain well and pat dry.
• In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic and some salt and pepper. Add the potato planks and toss to coat everything evenly. Remove the hot trays from the oven and set out the planks on the trays in a single even layer. Lightly sprinkle the paprika on the potatoes then place the trays back in the oven and roast until golden and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway. When done, use a fish spatula to remove from the trays. Season with salt and serve with ketchup.

SPICY GRILLED POTATO PLANKS

Steps:

• Place potatoes in enough water to cover (salted if desired) in 3-quart saucepan. Cover and heat to boiling. Boil about 15 minutes or until almost tender; drain. Cool slightly.
• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat.
• Heat remaining ingredients to boiling; remove from heat. Cut each potato lengthwise into 4 or 5 slices. Brush potatoes generously with butter mixture.
• Cover and grill potatoes 4 inches from medium heat about 20 minutes, turning and brushing 2 or 3 times with butter mixture, until golden brown and tender.

GRILLED POTATO PLANKS

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and standing them on their side, cut 1/4 inch "planks". In a large bowl, toss potatoes with other ingredients until all are coated evenly. Grill should be nice and hot (approx. 550 degrees farenheit). Spray grill with PAM or coat with oil (unless it is non-stick). Lay potato planks onto the grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every five minutes, until done. "Done" means a nice dark golden brown with grill marks evident. (A good panini maker may cook the potatoes a bit sooner.) DIG IN!
