Ingredients
  

  • 4 Sweet Potato scrubbed but not peeled
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Zest (the zest of one whole lime)
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • Fresh Lime Juice from one whole lime
  • 1/3 cup Fresh Cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender, approximately 25 minutes.
  • Remove the potatoes from water and allow them to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, combine the kosher salt, lime zest, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Mix well. Set aside.
  • Once the potatoes are cool enough to cut, slice into 6 wedges per potato. (Anything smaller will burn too fast on the grill!)
  • Brush the potato wedges with vegetable oil and place on the grill. Grill until golden in color, about 4-5 minutes. Flip the wedges, and grill for another 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove wedges from the grill, sprinkle lightly with lime juice, kosher salt mixture, and chopped cilantro.
