Ingredients

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes cut into wedges
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated, optional

Homemade Ranch Seasoning

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill. Set your grill up for high heat around 400 degrees F. You can also make this on your smoker or in your oven. This high heat allows your potatoes to cook through while developing a crispy exterior.
    1 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt, ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon dried parsley, ¼ teaspoon dried dill, ¼ teaspoon ground mustard powder, ¼ teaspoon celery seeds, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Make the ranch seasoning. Combine all the ingredients for your seasoning in a small bowl, then mix until you have an even mixture. I recommend using a whisk or fork so you can break up any clumps.
  • Prepare the potatoes. Wash your potatoes, then cut them lengthwise into wedges. You should get 6-8 wedges, depending on the size of your potatoes. Arrange your wedges onto a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or sprayed with cooking oil so your potatoes don’t stick. Drizzle your potatoes with the melted butter, then sprinkle with the ranch seasoning.
  • Cook the potatoes. Place the wedges directly on your grill grates, close the lid, and cook for 20-25 minutes. You’re looking for fork-tender potatoes with a golden-brown color. To ensure your potatoes are fully cooked inside, look for an internal temperature of around 210 degrees F.
  • Add the grated parmesan. I like to grate a little fresh parmesan on my potatoes during the last few minutes of cooking. This step is totally optional, but it adds a nice melty contrast to your crispy wedges.
  • Serve and enjoy. Transfer the cooked wedges to a serving platter, serve with some ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
