Easy Blackstone Potatoes
Have you ever attempted to cook fried potatoes on a griddle? This is one of the simplest Blackstone recipes you can make and unquestionably one of my favorite side dishes. They have a crunchy outside and a fluffy interior. The best part is that it only takes a few minutes to prepare this tasty side dish on the griddle.
You can cook meat and potatoes together on the Blackstone, and these crispy potatoes complement almost any main course. Along with Blackstone chicken, we love to cook this simple potato recipe!
Ingredients
Making fried potatoes on the griddle requires only a few simple materials. The full proportions are listed on the printable recipe card below.
- Baby potatoes are my favorite since they are so easy to work with, but you can also use larger Yukon gold potatoes, yellow potatoes, or red potatoes. You can also cut russet potatoes.
- Avocado oil is ideal for outdoor cooking because of its high smoke point. If you like, you can use vegetable oil or olive oil instead.
- Seasonings: salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Butter — for more flavor.
How to Make Fried Potatoes on Blackstone Griddle
- Cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces first. I cut the really small potatoes in half and quarter the larger ones. They cook more rapidly and evenly as a result. Pour a little avocado oil over them after adding them to a big bowl. Next, combine the ingredients with the potatoes.
- Brush the griddle's surface with a bit additional oil after heating it to medium. Using a broad metal spatula or grilling spatula, add the potatoes to the griddle and spread them evenly. Potatoes should be fork-tender and golden brown after regular turning.
- For added taste, we like to add a small amount of butter near the end of cooking. However, this is optional. Before serving, you can optionally top the baked potatoes with some freshly chopped parsley and shredded Parmesan cheese.
Storage
Any leftover potatoes should be refrigerated in an airtight container. Although we typically reheat them in the microwave, you may also do this on the stove. For optimal flavor, you can freeze leftovers for up to three months of storage.
Recipe Tip
- Cut the potatoes into small pieces so they cook quickly.
- Vary the flavors. Try taco seasoning, dried rosemary, Italian spice, ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, or sweet paprika.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
The most important thing to keep in mind is that before you chop the potatoes to boil them, you must thoroughly wash their exterior. Remove the filth and grime with a scrub.
Next, cut the potatoes into cubes using a sharp knife. To ensure that they cook at the same rate, they don't need to be precisely the same size, but it's wonderful if they are.
Since potatoes make the ideal foundation for toppings, it's difficult to resist doing so. A dollop of sour cream, Parmesan cheese, shredded cheese, sliced green onions, or a simple garnish of kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder are some of the main topping ideas.
For a taste and color boost, you may also garnish your Blackstone potatoes with fresh cilantro.
Remember that while toppings are always optional, they are an easy way to add flavor and distinctiveness to a dish.
To be deemed finished and fit for consumption, they must be fork tender. Using a fork, literally press the tines into the center of a potato slice.
The potato is done cooking and ready to begin cooling if it is soft. The potatoes should be cooked for a little longer if they are firm.
Additionally, the potatoes will visually begin to turn golden brown, a sign that the surface is cooking.
Yes, you can. This griddle recipe works well in both the oven and the stove top. To cook on the stove top, simply put a small amount of avocado or olive oil in a skillet and cook until the onions are transparent and the potatoes are soft.
You may place these potatoes on a baking sheet and bake or roast them in the oven until they are soft and flavorful.
