Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 russet potatoes
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F).
  • Wash the potatoes well, dry with a paper towel, and rub (or use a brush) with olive oil and salt and pepper.
  • Use a fork to prick the skins of the potatoes. Place each on an individual foil wrap and poke a few holes in the foil to allow the grill heat to penetrate through. Wrap each potato individually with the foil.
  • Place the potatoes on the grill, cover and grill for 60 minutes, depending on their size, turning halfway through, until the skin crisps and puffs and the potatoes are easily pierced.
  • Remove from the grill and let cool for 5 minutes before unwrapping and cutting open. Serve as desired.

Notes

My Top Tip:Make sure the potatoes are dry. After scrubbing the potatoes, dry them well with a paper towel. If I have time, I give them a few minutes to air dry. This will ensure a crispy skin and fluffy interior.
Storage: Leftover grilled baked potatoes will last up to 4 days in the fridge.
