Description
Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside—these grilled baked potatoes get a smoky flavor from the grill and a golden crust thanks to a brush of oil. Serve them loaded with your favorite toppings for a crowd-pleasing side dish.
Ingredients
For the Baked Potatoes:
-
2 tablespoons butter (plus more as needed)
-
4 medium russet potatoes (6–8 ounces each)
-
4 tablespoons neutral-flavored oil (avocado oil, olive oil, etc.)
Serving Suggestions (all optional):
-
Sour cream
-
Shredded cheddar cheese
-
Sliced green onions
Instructions
-
Preheat grill to medium heat (about 375°F).
-
Wash potatoes thoroughly and pat dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
-
Rub potatoes with neutral oil to coat evenly.
-
Wrap each potato in foil. Place on the grill and cook for about 45–60 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Carefully remove foil, slice potatoes open lengthwise, and fluff insides with a fork.
-
Add butter and your favorite toppings like sour cream, cheese, and green onions. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a crisper skin, unwrap potatoes during the last 10 minutes of grilling.
Use a grill basket to prevent smaller potatoes from falling through grates.
Russet potatoes work best for fluffy interiors.
