• Mix in Mushrooms – Most of my family loves mushrooms. We add them in to a lot of our vegetables mixes and they go perfectly with sweet potatoes.
• Russet Potatoes – We like to add in russet potatoes occasionally if I don’t have many sweet potatoes. We love they look and taste.
• Fresh Herbs – Add fresh herbs such as parsley, Italian Seasoning, or Rosemary.
• Fresh Garlic – When melting the butter, you can add in some minced garlic to cook the potatoes in.

How to Cook Sweet Potatoes on Blackstone Griddle

• Step 1 – Prepare Grill – Preheat the Blackstone Grill over high heat (approximately 400 degrees F). 

• Step 2 – Heat Oil and add potatoes – Drizzle the avocado oil on the grill.  Place the diced sweet potatoes on the oil on the grill.  Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.  

• Step 3 – Cook seasoned potatoes – Sauté the sweet potatoes for 12-15 minutes covered and toss approximately every 2-3 minutes.  

• Step 4 – Cook with Butter – Once the potatoes are fork tender, top the potatoes with the butter.  Toss the potatoes with the butter until the butter is melted and cover the potatoes.  

• Step 5 – Serve and Enjoy – Remove the potatoes from the grill, serve immediately while warm and enjoy! 

Recipe Tips

• Dicing Potatoes – When I am dicing up the sweet potatoes to cook, we try to make them about the same size. This way they cook evenly and about the same time.
• Let Potatoes Cook – When you cook potatoes on the griddle, make sure you let them cook without moving around. This creates a crispy texture.
• Fork Tender Potatoes – Make sure you potatoes are fork tender before removing them from the griddle. I also like them to have a crispy golden brown texture before removing them.
• Hot Griddle – To prevent potatoes from sticking, make sure griddle has reached a medium high heat and oiled before placing potatoes on the griddle.
