Print Recipe

A grilled baked potato is the perfect side dish for BBQs, steak nights, or summer cookouts! With a crispy, seasoned skin and soft, buttery inside, it’s easy to make and pairs well with any grilled meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Russet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • Toppings of choice (cheese, sour cream, chives, bacon, etc.)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Potatoes

  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt.
  2. Pat dry and pierce each potato 5-6 times with a fork to release steam while grilling.
  3. Rub with olive oil or butter, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

🔥 Pro Tip: For extra crispy skin, skip wrapping in foil and grill directly!

2️⃣ Choose Your Grilling Method

🔥 Method 1: Directly on the Grill (Crispier Skin!)

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F-400°F).
  2. Place potatoes directly on the grates over indirect heat.
  3. Close the lid and grill for 45-60 minutes, flipping every 15 minutes.
  4. Test doneness by inserting a knife—it should glide through easily.

🔥 Pro Tip: For an extra smoky crust, finish over direct heat for the last 5 minutes!

🔥 Method 2: Wrapped in Foil (Softer Skin, Extra Moist!)

  1. Wrap each potato tightly in aluminum foil.
  2. Place on the grill and cook for 45-60 minutes, flipping halfway.
  3. Unwrap, slice open, and add your favorite toppings!

🔥 Pro Tip: For extra flavor, add a pat of butter inside the foil before sealing!

Notes

This easy, foolproof method makes grilled baked potatoes crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of smoky flavor. Whether you’re making classic baked potatoes, loaded BBQ potatoes, or cheesy garlic potatoes, they’re a must-have for any grill session!
