- In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Add potatoes; toss to coat. Spoon onto a greased double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square).
- Fold foil around potato mixture and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat until potatoes are tender, turning once, 30-35 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
What potatoes are the best to grill?
The best potatoes to grill are Yukon golds. In a pinch, sweet or Idaho potatoes could do the job, too.
How can you tell when your potatoes are done grilling?
You can tell that your potatoes are done grilling if you can pierce them without any resistance. You should be able to slide a fork or wooden skewer smoothly into the flesh.
What other seasoning ideas do you recommend?
This grilled potato recipe is a great base for different seasoning ideas. If you're looking for something classic, try garlic powder or a mixed herb seasoning. Want a little spice? Try chili powder or cayenne.
