Instructions
- Wash whole potatoes. Slice potatoes 1/16" thick with a mandoline slicer. You can peel the potatoes beforehand, but it isn't necessary.
- Slice garlic cloves 1/16" thick with mandoline slicer.
- Place cast iron skillet on the grill grates directly over the flames. Preheat grill to 350°F.
- Add 1 tablespoon of bacon grease to the pan, let it melt, and swirl to coat the pan.
- Arrange ⅓ of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the skillet. They probably won't quite fit in a single layer, but it will be close.
- Season with salt and pepper. Top the potatoes with ⅓ of the thyme sprigs and ½ of the sliced garlic. Top with ½ tablespoon of bacon grease, broken into small pieces.
- Repeat with ⅓ of the potatoes, salt and pepper, ½ of the garlic, ⅓ of the thyme, and ½ tablespoon of bacon grease.
- Top with remaining potato slices, salt and pepper, and remaining thyme sprigs. Top with ½ tablespoon of bacon grease, broken into small pieces.
- Cook for 10 minutes, directly over the flames, or until the bottom potatoes are starting to brown.
- Move the skillet to indirect heat and top with parmesan cheese.
- Cook for an additional 10 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes
- This recipe uses Yukon gold potatoes but red potatoes, russet potatoes, or even sweet potatoes can be substituted instead.
- This recipe uses sliced garlic cloves but if you're short on time, you can use garlic powder instead.
- Fresh thyme is used for this recipe but you can use any fresh herbs, Italian seasoning, or your favorite seasonings for endless flavor possibilities!
- Bacon grease gives these potatoes the silliest, crispiest, delicious flavor and texture. But you can use olive oil instead or your personal preference for cooking fats/oils.
- Parmesan cheese adds a delicious nuttiness and tanginess to these potatoes. But you can use cheddar cheese or your favorite melty cheese.
- This recipe was written for a pellet grill but you can use a gas grill, charcoal grill, etc. As long as your grill has a way to use direct and indirect heat, you're good to go!
- A cast iron skillet is essential for these potatoes because they're safe to put on the grill and they hold their heat well which leads to delicious crispy potatoes.
- A mandoline slicer is super helpful for slicing potatoes into even, thin slices, but you can use a sharp knife instead.
- Keep an eye on the potatoes on the bottom. If they start getting too crispy, move the pan to indirect heat sooner so they don't burn.
