Ingredients
Scale
Potato Wedges
- 2 whole Russet potatoes, cut into 8 wedges each
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Ultimate Dry Rub
Fry Sauce
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (about ½ a lemon, freshly juiced)
- 2 teaspoons fresh horseradish
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat, setting up a two-zone grilling area, aiming for a cooking chamber temperature of 450°F to ensure the perfect grilling environment.
- Grill Direct: Place the seasoned potato wedges on the grill grates in a single layer with the flat sides down to get prominent grill marks. Cook over direct heat for 3 minutes on each side.
- Grill Indirect: After grill marks are achieved, move the wedges to the indirect side of the grill to finish cooking. Rotate them every 5 minutes to cook evenly and achieve a crispy texture, cooking for about 14 minutes total.
- Prepare Fry Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, and fresh horseradish until smooth and well mixed.
- Serve: Serve the grilled potato wedges warm alongside the freshly made fry sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Soaking the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before grilling can help enhance their texture.
- Ensure to dry the wedges thoroughly after soaking to allow better crisping during grilling.
- Use a two-zone grill setup for best results: direct and indirect heat zones.
