- Extra Virgin Olive Oil

How to make Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges
To prep the potatoes I scrub them really well and leave the skin on. This helps the wedges from falling apart when grilling. Then I boil them for about 6 minutes or until they are fork tender. Next I toss them in olive oil and spices then place them on the grill. They take about 2-3 minutes per side on the grill. I cook them until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Serve immediately and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Tips
- Serve with lot’s of sauces to dip in: I love to serve these Sweet Potato Fries with Spicy Ketchup, Homemade Ranch Dressing or Honey Mustard for dipping!
- For a sweet twist: For a fun twist omit the garlic and onion powder and sprinkle the potato wedges with cinnamon and sugar when they come off the grill.
- Add some herbs: These wedges are also delicious topped with fresh parsley and parmesan cheese!
- Add some seasonings: Try tossing these fries in some of your favorite seasonings. I like to do Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning and Taco seasoning!
