Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (optional)
- 4 pieces Aluminum foil sheets
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Scrub and wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Use a fork to poke 8-10 holes evenly around each potato. This ensures the steam can escape during cooking.
Brush each potato with olive oil, ensuring it's fully coated. Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. If desired, sprinkle with fresh rosemary for added flavor.
Wrap each potato tightly in a piece of aluminum foil, making sure the foil is sealed to trap heat and moisture.
Place the foil-wrapped potatoes directly on the preheated grill grates. Close the grill lid and cook for 50-60 minutes, turning the potatoes with tongs every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
After 50 minutes, check for doneness by gently squeezing a potato (using heat-safe gloves) or by inserting a skewer/fork into the center. The potato should feel soft and give easily.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Carefully unwrap the foil (watch out for hot steam).
Serve hot with your favorite toppings like sour cream, chives, shredded cheese, or bacon bits, or enjoy them plain for a smoky, flavorful side dish.
