Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lb russet potatoes about 4 medium
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp dried rosemary optional
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter for serving
  • 0.5 cup sour cream for serving
  • 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese for serving
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped, for serving

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400 F). Clean and oil the grates.
  • Scrub potatoes well and pat dry. Pierce each potato 6 to 8 times with a fork.
  • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary.
  • Rub the potatoes all over with the seasoned oil to coat evenly.
  • Wrap each potato tightly in heavy-duty foil.
  • Place potatoes on the grill over indirect heat. Close the lid and cook for 45 to 60 minutes, turning every 15 minutes, until very tender.
  • Check doneness: a skewer should slide through easily, or internal temperature should reach about 205 F.
  • Carefully remove foil, split potatoes, and fluff the insides with a fork. Top with butter, sour cream, cheddar, and chives. Season to taste and serve hot.

Notes

For extra-crispy skins, unwrap during the last 5 minutes and grill over direct heat, turning often. Yukon Gold potatoes also work well. Add crumbled bacon or smoked paprika for a flavor boost.
