  • Total Time: 65 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium potatoes (choose uniform-sized for even cooking)

  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (canola or vegetable)

  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt, then dry them with a kitchen towel.

  • Use a fork to poke several holes into each potato to allow steam to escape during grilling.

  • Drizzle the oil over the potatoes and rub it evenly across the skins.

  • Sprinkle sea salt over each potato to enhance flavor and encourage crisping.

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).

  • Place the potatoes directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 40 to 50 minutes. Turn the potatoes occasionally to cook all sides evenly.

  • Test for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of a potato; it should glide in easily.

  • Once done, remove from the grill. Let cool slightly, then cut open and add desired toppings.

Notes

  • Russet potatoes are preferred for their fluffy interiors.

  • For softer skins, wrap potatoes in foil before grilling (optional).

  • Customize with toppings like vegan sour cream, herbs, or shredded chicken.
