These Blackstone Potatoes are easy to make and quick to disappear. With just four ingredients (plus salt and pepper), you have a show-stopping side that never gets old. Blackstone side dishes don’t get any easier and more delicious than fried potatoes.
Once you try cooking potatoes on the Blackstone griddle, you may never want to cook them any other way!
It is so easy to make this delicious side with just a handful of ingredients that you probably already have on hand. The prep time is minimal, making this perfect for a busy weeknight side.
The potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Steak and potatoes are a classic combination, but these Blackstone Potatoes work well with any protein. Give them a try with Grilled Filet, Steak with Mushrooms, Ninija Foodi Grill Steak, and BBQ Chicken Sandwiches.

Ingredient Notes
If your potatoes are small, cut them in half; larger ones can be quartered so they cook evenly. If your potatoes are larger pieces than the ones in my photo, make sure you increase the cook time.
I like avocado oil for its mild flavor and high smoke point, but butter adds a nice golden crisp if you’re in the mood for extra richness. I recommend using a mixture of butter and oil, as the oil will help increase the smoke point.
Tips, Tricks, and Variations
- Make sure you adjust the cooking time based on the size of your potatoes. They are done when a fork slides easily into them.
- If you can’t find baby potatoes, you can cube Yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes.
- For a little smoke, smoked paprika is a nice addition.
- Want to make breakfast potatoes? You can cut them to a smaller dice and skip the garlic powder. Smaller potatoes on the griddle will take about 15 minutes to cook. They are fabulous served with bacon and scrambled eggs.
How to Make Blackstone Potatoes
Start by preheating your Blackstone to 400° F, which will be either low or medium-low, depending on your model and the conditions where you are. I like to use an infrared thermometer so my cook is perfect every time.

Loved the potato's, made them on my Blackstone griddle and they were perfect. Glad I stuck around and made them, I almost got scared away when I saw Hunts Ketchup, if it isn't Heinz, it isn't Ketchup! I doused these baby's in the Jalapeño Ketchup and it was amazing!!

My hubby made these tonight on the Blackstone griddle to go with a special steak he was cooking. They were so easy to make and tasted absolutely delicious. They were crispy on the outside and tender and yummy on the inside. Oh, and I had yellow potatoes on hand and they worked out quite well.

Will be making this tonight - this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
