Ingredients

• 2 lbs golden potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 3 tbsp smoked butter
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil onto three paper napkins and place them inside the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the soaked napkins.
3. Light the paper and allow the fire to build for about 20 minutes before cooking.

Step 2: Prepare the potatoes

1. Wash and slice the potatoes into 1/2-inch rounds.
2. Season the potato slices with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

Step 3: Start grilling

1. Place the potatoes on the flat top griddle cooktop, positioning them closer to the center for higher heat.
2. Allow them to cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Add smoked butter

1. Melt the smoked butter directly on the Arteflame cooktop.
2. Brush the potatoes generously with the melted smoked butter, enhancing the smoky depth of flavor.

Step 5: Finish and serve

1. Move the potatoes slightly to the outer edge of the flat cooktop to stay warm while finishing other grilled dishes.
2. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and Parmesan, if using.
3. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips

• For extra crispiness, allow the potatoes to cook undisturbed for a few minutes before flipping.
• Position the potatoes at different heat zones to control the cooking speed and texture.
• The smoked butter enhances the flavor, but you can also experiment with herb-infused butters.

Variations

• Cheesy Garlic Potatoes: Add shredded sharp cheddar and minced garlic during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
• Spicy Cajun Potatoes: Toss the sliced potatoes with Cajun seasoning for a bold, spicy kick.
• Herb Butter Potatoes: Mix smoked butter with finely chopped rosemary and thyme for an herby twist.
• Parmesan Truffle Potatoes: Drizzle truffle oil over the potatoes and top with Parmesan cheese.
• Lemon Dill Potatoes: Squeeze fresh lemon juice and sprinkle dill right before serving.
