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, turning halfway through, until the skin crisps and puffs and the potatoes are easily pierced, 50 to 60 minutes, depending on their size.
- Remove from the grill and let cool for 5 minutes before unwrapping and cutting open. Serve as desired.

Notes
- *Nutrition label does not include salt and pepper. Season to taste!
- Storage: Leftover grilled baked potatoes will last up to 4 days in the fridge.
- Tips:
- 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.
- Use similar size potatoes. This ensures they will cook evenly and finish at the same time. If you have potatoes of different sizes, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Check for doneness with a skewer. Insert a bamboo skewer into the thickest part of the potato, and if it easily slides in and the potatoes feel tender, they are ready.
- Let the potatoes rest. Once cooked, remove potatoes from the grill and cool for 5 minutes before unwrapping and cutting open. They will continue cooking using residual heat, so don't rush the resting time.
