Equipment
Grill
Mixing Bowl
Small Saucepan
Sharp Knife
Cutting Board
Cooking Pot
Ingredients
- 2 lbs russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup melted butter
Instructions
- Peel potatoes and place whole potatoes in a large pan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, cooking about 8 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
- Slice potatoes into thin slices using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife.
- Place potato slices in a large bowl and cover with cold water, set aside for 5 minutes, drain and repeat for another 5 minutes. This process removes some of the starch and will help the potatoes maintain the slices while cooking and not turning to mush. Drain potatoes well.
- Layer potato slices in an even layer, slightly overlapping in a round casserole dish, baking pan or cast iron skillet that has been buttered.
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle half of the spices over the potatoes. Top with half of cheese.
- Add another layer of potatoes and sprinkle with remaining spices.
- Melt butter and drizzle over the potatoes. Top with remaining cheese.
- Cover with aluminum foil.
- Place on a hot grill over indirect fire, cooking with the grill lid closed for about 45 minutes.
- Remove foil and check potatoes for doneness, cooking until potatoes are tender, keeping covered until potatoes are done.
- When potatoes are done, remove from grill. Uncover and rest about 5 minutes.
- Invert potatoes onto a serving platter or plate. Garnish with fresh herbs and slice into wedges to serve.
