Simple to make and the perfect side dish to anything off the grill, these Grilled Potatoes are my go-to recipe! They're great served straight off the grill or tossed with the optional butter and green onions. We make these both ways several times per week to go along with protein and veggies on the grill. This side dish is naturally gluten free and dairy free if you choose dairy free butter or the plain version. Either way you go, I know you're going to love these potatoes as much as we do.
4Yukon gold potatoes2 pounds, sliced lengthwise into 1/4"-1/2" thick slices
1tbspolive oil or avocado oil
pinchsea salt
2tbspsalted butteroptional, see notes
1/4cupgreen onionsthinly sliced, optional see notes
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the grill over medium to medium high heat until the grill reaches a steady temperature of 350ºF-400ºF. Make sure the grill is well cleaned so the potatoes don't stick.
In a medium sized bowl, toss the sliced potatoes together with the oil and pinch of sea salt to evenly coat the side.
Place the potato slices directly on the preheated grill, taking care to place them so they don't fall through the slats.
Grill the sliced potatoes until they're ready to turn, have browned grill marks, and release easily from the grill, about 7-8 minutes. I like to use metal tongs to turn the slices.
Turn the potatoes and cook until tender, about 7-8 more minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on your grill and how windy it is outside. Use a pairing knife to see if they potatoes are soft in the centers.
Remove the potatoes from the grill and serve, or toss them together with the butter and green onion mixture. Either way you serve them, be sure to season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Notes
You can serve these potatoes plain straight from the grill, or toss them together with the optional butter and green onions for one of our favorite variations. Use dairy free butter for dairy free, or omit the butter altogether.Be careful to avoid placing the potatoes over any hot spots in your grill because they will burn.The nutrition facts were calculated without the sea salt and pepper to taste at the end of the cooking time.
