Notes
- Make sure to preheat grill before cooking your taties, for the best results.
- Try to grill equally sized russet potatoes, so that they cook at the same rate.
- Turn them over once during cooking so they cook evenly.
- Make sure to keep the grill lid closed as much as you can during cooking so that the temperature stays as even as possible (like you would for an oven).
- Make sure each entire potato is well oiled and seasoned.
- If your spuds are undercooked then grill for a bit longer.
- Done potatoes are super hot, so please use tongs to carefully transfer them to a plate before serving.
- Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for 5 days.
- There are 6 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
