Does anyone have any experience with grill basket potato wedges? I've been working on perfecting them for some time and feel like I am coming close. My recipe / technique is below, would love any feedback, tips or suggestions.
Start with Yukon Gold potatoes
1. Rinse off well
2. Cut in half length-wise
3. Lay each half flat, cut side down and slide off 1/2" to 3/4" thick half-moon wedges
4. Soak in water for 30 - 40 minutes
5. Dry thoroughly
6. Toss in peanut oil, salt and pepper
7. Pre heat grill basket medium high
8. Toss in potatoes, cook for 40 - 50 minutes, tossing every 8 - 10 minutes
9. During the last 15 minutes of cooking brush once or twice with more peanut oil
I have been getting nice, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside wedges. My only challenge is it is hard to get these perfect consistently. I have a Weber Genesis with nice temperature control. Trying to figure out if I should target higher or lower heat, use more or less oil and get the soaking time / starch content right.
