Recipe For Baked Potatoes On The Grill

by

Make baked potatoes on the grill if you need a side dish. Brush them with butter, season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and then grill them. The result is seasoned, crispy potato skins with fluffy interiors.

Don’t you think that cheesy potatoes on the grill with bacon, yes bacon, or perfectly fluffy and light smoked baked potatoes are the epitome of comfort food?

Now I’m grilling baked potatoes that are everything a baked potato should be: they have BUTTER, garlic, salt, and pepper, are incredibly simple to make, and only take 30 minutes. Throw them on the grill while your main dish is cooking, and you’ll have a full meal in no time at all!

Even though I don’t particularly enjoy baked potatoes, I will be adding these to my grilling rotation because the inside of these baked potatoes is perfectly light and fluffy and the skin is delicious with the butter and seasonings on it.

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.

FAQ

How do I make baked potatoes on the grill?

Each potato should be individually wrapped in two layers of foil, making sure there are no exposed spots. Place potatoes directly on the grill and close the lid. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center of the potatoes comes out clean.

How long does it take for baked potatoes on the barbecue?
