Grilled Crispy Potato Wedges

Chef Waldy Malouf is well known for his live fire cooking and customers flock to Beacon for his grilled specialties. Joining the steaks, chops, duck and oysters on the grill are thick wedges of potato—a lower fat and very flavorful way to have a “french fry” experience without deep frying.
