dash or less garlic powder
dash or so of dried dill weed

-Prepare the grill.
-Combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mustard, and pepper in large bowl. Mix well. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them in the mixture until they are well covered.
-Add the potato wedges to your aluminum pan and place them on the grill.
-Stir up the wedges every 5-7 minutes to make sure they don't stick.
-Cook for 30-40 minutes, depending on the thickness of your wedges.
-Once they are to your desired crispness, serve.
