Introduction

These Austrian Butter-Grilled Herb Potatoes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with aromatic rosemary and thyme. Grilled on the Arteflame flat cooktop, they develop a golden, flavorful crust that makes them irresistible. Pair them with a perfectly seared steak or enjoy them as a delicious side dish!

Ingredients

• 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the oiled napkins.
3. Light the paper and allow the fire to build for about 20 minutes until the flat cooktop is hot and ready.

Step 2: Prepare the potatoes

1. Thinly slice the Yukon Gold potatoes.
2. Place the slices in a large bowl and toss them with melted butter, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and minced garlic.

Step 3: Grill the potatoes

1. Spread the potato slices evenly on the hotter inner section of the Arteflame flat cooktop.
2. Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping with a spatula until golden brown and crispy.
3. Move the potatoes to a slightly cooler section to keep warm while grilling other food.

Tips

• Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture and great crispiness.
• Cook near the center of the cooktop for a crispier crust, then move them outward to keep warm.
• Butter adds a rich flavor and helps with browning—avoid olive oil for this recipe.

Variations

1. Cheese Lover’s Potatoes: Sprinkle Parmesan or Gruyère cheese while the potatoes are still hot.
2. Spicy Chili Potatoes: Add a pinch of red chili flakes or cayenne for extra heat.
3. Garlic Butter Potatoes: Double the garlic and add a touch of lemon zest for an extra punch.
4. Mustard-Infused Potatoes: Mix in a teaspoon of Dijon mustard before grilling for a tangy twist.
5. Truffle Potatoes: Drizzle with truffle oil after grilling for a luxurious flavor.

Conclusion

Austrian Butter-Grilled Herb Potatoes are the perfect side for any grilled feast. Cooked to golden perfection on the Arteflame flat cooktop, they are crispy, flavorful, and impossible to resist!
