German Herb Grilled Potatoes

Introduction

These German herb grilled potatoes are crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection on the Arteflame grill.

Tips

• Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamy texture and crispy edges.
• Placing potatoes closer to the center of the Arteflame grill ensures a better crisp with high heat.
• Rotate sliced potatoes occasionally to achieve even browning.
• Butter enhances flavor, so don’t substitute with olive oil.
• Move potatoes to cooler areas of the griddle if they brown too quickly.

2. Cheesy Herb Potatoes: Sprinkle shredded gouda or gruyère cheese over the potatoes in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
3. Lemon Herb Potatoes: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving for a zesty twist.
4. Garlic Butter Potatoes: Increase garlic powder and add minced garlic to the butter for extra garlic flavor.
