Ingredients • 4 medium Wisconsin Russet potatoes, washed • To taste Salt, pepper (see Variations, below) • As needed Olive oil (see Variations) • To taste Assorted fresh herbs, chopped OR dried herbs (see Variations)
Preparation: 1) Preheat grill.
2) Slice Wisconsin potatoes lengthwise into ¾-inch-thick “steaks”
3) Place Wisconsin potato “steaks” in medium bowl; drizzle with olive oil.
4) Sprinkle with salt, pepper and desired herbs. Mix lightly to spread seasonings throughout.
5) Place Wisconsin potato “steaks” on hot grill, and cook for 2-1/2 minutes per side.
6) Brush with the oil and seasonings remaining in bowl, if desired, to keep “steaks” from sticking.

Variations: • For the olive oil, try herb-infused olive oils or a combination of melted butter and olive oil • For salt and pepper, try Kosher or sea salt; garlic, onion or seasoned salt; or cracked black, pink or red peppercorns • For fresh herbs, try chopped fresh Italian flat parsley, Greek oregano or sweet basil; whole marjoram leaves, thyme or rosemary sprigs, or any combination. • For dried herbs, use the same varieties as for fresh herbs; crush them first to release the oils, and use 1/3 as much as you would fresh herbs
