Can you grill potatoes without boiling them first?
The potatoes should be boiled just enough to make them tender. We understand that it’s an extra step. Skip parboiling and the potatoes turn out charred on the outside and hard on their inside. You can also use a potato masher to mash up your potatoes. It’s a great way to get rid of some of the starch that’s stuck to the bottom of your potato.
Can you put potatoes directly on the grill?
You can grill potato slices or wedges quickly and easily directly on the grill if you are willing to keep a close eye on them. The best way to cut the potatoes is to wedge them. This will allow them to cook faster. You can either remove the skins or leave them on.
If you don’t have a grill, you can use a cast iron skillet to grill your potatoes. It will take a little longer to cook them, but it will be much easier to control the heat.
How long do you bake a potato at 400?
In a bowl, toss the potatoes with the oil, salt, and pepper and place them in the oven. Place the fork on the baking sheet and bake it for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Return the skillet to the heat and add the tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, oregano, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup of the reserved potato mixture and the remaining reserved potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the sauce has thickened, 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

How do you grill in an oven?
To cook in an oven, preheat the oven to 500f and place your empty cast iron grill pan inside. If you’re using the broiler to grill in the oven, place your empty pan on the top rack or in the broiler.
If you don’t have a cast-iron grill, use an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. You can also use a sheet of parchment paper to cover the bottom of the pan, but be careful not to burn yourself.
Do you grill potatoes on direct or indirect heat?
I get the best results with the grill set at 350f for 1 hour over indirect heat because of how high the grill temperature is. The potato is cooked so slowly that it creates a fluffy middle.
To get the most out of this recipe, you’ll want to finish the potato over direct heat. If you don’t have a grill, you can also cook the potatoes on a baking sheet in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
