Cook the best grilled potato by slicing it finely, grill until blistered on the surface and creamy in texture. Add cumin and chili powder to spice it up.

Ingredients

  • 1 large russet potato , cut to 4-mm (1/8-inch) slices
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 2 teaspoon cumin powder (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne powder (or paprika powder for less spiciness)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (Optional)

Instructions

  • Spread potato slices on a large tray and drizzle with olive oil. Use a pair of tongs to toss potatoes to ensure both sides are coated with oil.
  • Season with salt and generously sprinkle with cumin powder and cayenne powder.
  • Heat up the grill to build a modified two zone fire. Place the potato slices directly on the fire. Cook until both sides are charred and the inside is cooked through. If the potato slice is still a bit tough, move it to indirect heat and let it cook until tender. Sprinkle with another layer of cumin powder and place a small chunk of butter on top (optional). Leave slices on the grill until the butter is melted.
  • Transfer to a plate and serve warm.
