For the Seasoned Potato Wedges

Microwaving before grilling speeds up cooking and ensures tender centers with crisp edges—golden as doubloons from the flame

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Teaspoon Paprika
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 Pinch Sea Salt, To Taste

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F).
Place potato wedges in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Toss hot potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt until evenly coated.
Grease grill grates thoroughly with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

Notes

These wedges are crisped by flame and seasoned like a sailor’s stash—smoky, garlicky, and golden as doubloons. A perfect side for grilled meats or dockside feasts. Store leftovers in the ship’s stores for up to 2 days; reheat on a hot skillet or grill for best texture.
