Equipment
- Grill
- aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 6 Yukon Gold Potatoes 3-5 ounces each
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 450 ℉ (see below for notes on temperatures)
- Scrub and dry potatoes, and pierce them a few times with a fork
- Rub each potato with oil and sprinkle with salt
- Wrap potatoes individually with foil and place on heated grill
- Grill (bake) for 25-30 minutes until fork-tender
Notes
- Remove leftover potatoes from foil and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat potatoes in the microwave or air fryer, or slice and add to a skillet with a little extra olive oil or butter.
- Cooking in foil is not always best for other methods of baked potatoes, but I recommend using it here to keep the flames from burning the potatoes and keep the moisture in.
- If you use larger potatoes or grill at lower temperatures (as low as 350℉), the potatoes will take longer to cook.
- To quicken the cooking time, pierce and microwave the potatoes for 3-5 minutes, then prepare them for the grill.
