BAKED POTATOES ON THE GRILL

Baked Potatoes on the Grill image

Turns out the best way to make a baked potato might be to not bake it at all. Grilling it yields the same fluffy interior with the bonus of an underlying hint of smoky flavor. Since the potatoes are cooked over direct heat, it's important to use heavy-duty aluminum foil. (In a pinch, you can use two layers of regular foil.)

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 medium russet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salted butter, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Chopped chives, for serving

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium heat. Use a paring knife to poke each potato 4 to 6 times. Rub the potatoes with the olive oil, then generously season with salt and pepper.
Wrap each potato in a 12-by-12-inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, then place on the grill. (If using a charcoal grill, place over the area with coals.) Grill with the lid closed until a paring knife slides easily into each potato, 50 to 60 minutes.
Remove from the grill and let cool for 5 minutes before unwrapping. Serve with butter, sour cream and chives.

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

4 baking potatoes
olive oil
heavy duty aluminum foil

Steps:

Each potato is going to need 2 wraps of foil so if you are grilling 4 potatoes, you will need 8 pieces of foil.
Scrub potatoes clean and poke holes all around potato. Brush olive oil over the potato. ( I just use my hands).
Wrap potatoes in foil tightly.
Place on the grill (if using a gas grill, place on top) 400 degrees. Leave them there for an hour, turing at the 30 minute point.
Remove from grill and enjoy with whatever toppings you like.
This is what I do, I put my potatoes in first, then corn (for grilled corn) and then my meat (chicken, steak, whatever you like). It all cooks in the grill and ready at the same time.
Try it and see what you think -- .

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for baking, as they have a fluffy texture and hold their shape well.
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly before baking to remove any dirt or debris.
Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting.
Brush the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter to help them brown and crisp.
Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.
Wrap the potatoes in foil tightly to prevent them from drying out.
Bake the potatoes at a high temperature for a short amount of time to create a crispy skin and fluffy interior.
Let the potatoes rest for a few minutes after baking before serving to allow them to cool slightly.
