- Wrap each of the potatoes in a piece of aluminum foil.
- Place the potatoes directly on the grill grates and keep the lid shut.
- Allow the potatoes to cook on the grill for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender and the skin is crispy. Rotate the potatoes every 15-20 minutes to avoid grill hot spots.

Notes
- Make sure that the potatoes are dry before grilling to prevent any burning on the outside of the potato skin.
- You can also rub the oil and sea on the outside of the potatoes with your hands if you prefer.
- I use heavy duty foil to ensure that the foil does not tear during the cooking process.
- Be careful when handling the potatoes on the grill as they do get vary hot. Rotate them with a heat resistant glove on your hand or with tongs.
- Store any leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
