Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
2. Wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt or debris. Leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.
3. Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized cubes or wedges.
4. Place the potato cubes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat the potatoes with the oil.
5. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to create a spice blend.
6. Sprinkle the spice blend over the potatoes and toss to evenly coat them with the spices.
7. Place the seasoned potatoes in a grill basket or on a foil-lined grill pan. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
8. Grill the potatoes over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, tossing occasionally to prevent burning.
9. Remove the grilled home fries from the grill and transfer them to a serving dish.
10. Serve hot and enjoy as a side dish or with your favorite grilled meats.
