Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium-sized russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill on medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over the potatoes.
Wrap each potato tightly in a separate sheet of aluminum foil, sealing the edges to trap the heat.
Place the foil-wrapped potatoes directly on the grill grates.
Close the grill lid and cook for 45-50 minutes, turning the potatoes every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking. The potatoes are done when you can easily pierce them with a fork or skewer.
Carefully remove the potatoes from the grill using tongs and allow them to sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
Unwrap the foil, slice the potatoes open, and add your favorite toppings such as butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, or chives before serving.
