It’s time for the August edition of Three Cooks One Kitchen!
In case you aren’t familiar, Three Cooks One Kitchen is a monthly cooking installment that Joanna, Hannah and I do. We pick one of our places to get together and a food theme we want to focus on. Since summer is in full swing we decided to do another grilling event. I love grilled food and cannot get enough of it. This time we were at Jeff and Joanna’s family lake house, and we grilled potatoes!
I’m pretty sure I’ve shared on here that growing up my nickname was the potato baby. If not, now you know. I love potatoes. But surprisingly I had never grilled them before. Oh man, am I glad we finally did. These turned out fabulous. And they are super easy to make!
Step One
Slice the potatoes lengthwise, into roughly quarter-inch thick slices.
Step Two
Coat both sides of the potatoes in olive oil.
Step Three
Place the potatoes on the grill.
Step Four
Do not walk inside, start talking, and get distracted. You will run outside to the smell of burning potatoes and be very sad.
If this happens, repeat steps 1-3 and then grill each side of your fresh potatoes for 4 minutes per side.
Step Five
Top the potatoes with all of your favorite toppings. The sky is the limit, so feel free to get creative. Some of the toppings we included in our topping bar: chicken, guacamole, grilled onions, chives, cheese, broccoli, vegetarian chili, and quinoa orzo salad.
Step Six
Eat and enjoy!
These were so tasty and a huge hit with everyone at the lake house that night.

Questions of the Day: Are you a potato fan? (I’m not sure we can be friends if you say no…) Have you grilled potatoes before? What toppings would you put on your grilled potatoes?
I don’t really like potatoes but I would totally jazz them up with coconut butter/oil and some MEAT!!! Yes! SHAWARMA – Chicken SHAWARMA! 🙂
Coconut oil is so tasty!
I could eat potatoes all day long! I love a grilled “baked” potato, so this looks like it would be a kind of similar concept.
Yes! Mmm I love baked potatoes.
Guess what?! I just said to my guy this morning “how does steak with potatoes grilled somehow sound for dinner”….but I did not have a recipe….now I do 🙂 Yay! Thank you!
Yay! haha Happy grilling!
I still can’t believe we had some go up in flames – I guess it was bound to happen during 3C1K sometime 🙂
Yes! haha Honestly I’m glad we didn’t do more damage! 😉
I’ll need to try this with sweet potatoes!
That would be delicious!!
Looks like you girls have soooo much fun!! That sounds delicious! WE always slice potatoes and grill them in foil with onions. 🙂
That sounds delicious! And yes – we always have a blast!
I am going to start calling you potato baby now! 😉 haha
haha It was such a weird nickname but incredibly accurate!
I have never grilled potatoes before either, I would top mine with grilled peppers, onions, broccoli and hot sauce!
That sounds awesome! (Minus the hot sauce – because I’m a wuss. :D)
Okay, these look pretty darn good! I’m thinking I’d do one with caramalized onions and gruyere cheese — French onion soup inspired!
That would be delicious! I LOVE French onion soup!
I’ve got to try those on the grill!! brilliant
They’re SO good!
