Ingredients

• 4 large Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Cooking oil for grill seasoning

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

• Pour vegetable oil onto three paper napkins.
• Place the napkins in the grill and stack firewood on top.
• Light the napkins and let the fire heat up the grill for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes

• Wash and slice the potatoes into ¼-inch rounds.
• Pat dry to remove excess moisture.
• Toss the potato slices with melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 3: Grill the Potatoes

• Place the potatoes on the hot flat-top cooktop, positioning them closer to the center for higher heat cooking.
• Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
• Move them closer to the outer edge if needed to keep warm while grilling other food.

Step 4: Add Parmesan and Serve

• Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes.
• Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a finishing touch.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

• Use a metal spatula to flip the potatoes easily and prevent sticking.
• For extra crispiness, cook the potatoes in a single layer and avoid overcrowding.
• For a bolder garlic flavor, add freshly minced garlic in the last minute of grilling.

Variations

• Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for some heat.
• Herb Infused: Mix in fresh rosemary and thyme for an aromatic flavor.
• Cheesy Delight: Add shredded cheddar or gouda cheese instead of parmesan.
• Bacon Lover: Toss in crispy bacon bits for a smoky, meaty taste.
• Truffle Parmesan: Drizzle truffle oil before serving for an indulgent twist.
