Master the art of barbecue potato slices with high-profit street-food secrets, featuring crispy charred edges, aromatic spices, and a perfect dry-roasting technique.

↓ The ingredients ↓ The steps

Grilled potato slices are one of the most popular and highest-profit items in barbecue shops, yet they require precision to get right. Unlike meat products that need oil locked in from the start, potatoes must first be dry-roasted over low heat to release all excess moisture. This critical step ensures they achieve an ultimate fragrance and crisp texture before absorbing rich oils and aromatic seasonings.

Instructions

  1. 1Dry out the moisture
    Pale potato slices on skewers being dried over a charcoal grill.

    Place the sliced potato skewers on the charcoal grill and bake both sides on low heat to dry out the moisture completely before applying oil.

    Tip: Do not rush to brush with oil; drying them out first makes them taste better and more fragrant.
  2. 2Brush with oil

    Once the potato slices are roasted and the moisture is mostly baked away, use a brush to coat both sides with oil.

    Tip: Apply the oil only after the potatoes are thoroughly dried out.
  3. 3Add seasonings
