Baked Potatoes on the Grill
Perfectly fluffy and crispy baked potatoes cooked on the grill with simple ingredients. An easy side dish for BBQs or summer meals, ready without heating the kitchen.
Ingredients
Potato Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes washed and dried
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper optional, to taste
Instructions
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce each several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil and season with salt (and pepper if using). Wrap each potato tightly in aluminum foil.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat, about 375°F to 400°F. Set up for indirect heat if using a gas or charcoal grill.
- Place wrapped potatoes on the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and cook for 45 to 60 minutes, rotating every 15-20 minutes.
- Check doneness by unwrapping one potato and inserting a fork. If it slides in easily, the potatoes are ready.
- Remove from the grill, unwrap, and serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For extra crispy skin, unwrap potatoes and place directly over the flame for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
