Blackstone Potato Wedges
This is the perfect side dish to serve with your next main, no matter what it is! Burgers? Yes. Hot dogs? Still yes. Steak? Chicken breasts? Pork chops? Yes, yes, and YES. I am mildly obsessed with how easy these are to prepare and how amazing they turn out.
The secret is really in the pre-griddle microwave step. It pre-cooks the potatoes enough so that they’ll finish cooking on the griddle by the time they are browned, and it cuts down the overall cook time significantly, too.
Want to change it up? Alter the seasoning that you put on the potatoes by using your favorite bbq rub or blend.

How should I store leftover potato wedges?
Allow the wedges to cool and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat on the griddle with a small amount of oil over medium heat to restore their crispiness, or use an air fryer for a similar effect.
