Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large baking potatoes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 Vidalia onions, sliced, or more as needed
1 stick butter, sliced into pats

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Slice potatoes carefully through a long side, almost to the bottom but not through, to create even, fan-like cuts.
  • Pull slices apart gently and sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper. Place onion and butter slices between potato slices. Wrap each potato in heavy-duty aluminum foil and seal well.
  • Bake on the preheated grill until soft, turning occasionally, about 1 hour. Remove from grill and let sit 10 minutes before unwrapping.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Choose firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or fingerlings, as they hold their shape well on the grill.
  • Prep the potatoes: Scrub the potatoes clean and cut them into uniform sizes for even cooking. If using smaller potatoes, leave them whole. Larger potatoes can be cut into quarters or wedges.
  • Toss the potatoes in oil and seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Use a well-oiled grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  • Grill the potatoes in batches: If grilling a large quantity of potatoes, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the grill and ensure even cooking.
  • Flip the potatoes occasionally: Use a spatula to gently flip the potatoes every few minutes to ensure they cook evenly and get nice grill marks.
  • Cook until tender: The potatoes are done when they are tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Check for doneness by piercing the potatoes with a fork; they should slide off easily when done.
  • Serve immediately: Grilled potatoes are best served hot off the grill. Garnish with fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Grilling potatoes is a flavorful and versatile way to enjoy this delicious vegetable. Whether you're looking for a simple side dish or a hearty main course, grilled potatoes are a surefire hit. Experiment with different seasonings, herbs, and cooking techniques to find your favorite grilled potato recipe. You can never go wrong with grilled potatoes; they're perfect for any occasion!
