Barbecue Potatoes You can grill your potatoes from start to finish on the barbecue. Treat potatoes like steaks, sear the outside and slow cook the inside. This also creates a tasty outer crispy layer. Pre-heat your charcoal grill to a medium, leaving a 'cooler' spot on the grid. With a gas grill turn the temperature down after searing. Place wedges on for 2 minutes to sear the outside and create a crust. Move the potatoes to the 'cooler spot' on your charcoal grill or turn the temperature down on your gas grill.
