Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes (scrubbed clean and dried)
- ¼ cup salt (not all will be used!)
- 2 tablespoons oil (canola oil, vegetable oil, or another neutral flavored oil)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 400 degrees or medium-high heat.
- Clean potatoes and dry them well, leave the potato skins on for the best flavor.
- Spread salt evenly over a rimmed plate.
- Rub potatoes evenly with oil and roll in the salt on the plate.
- Wrap the entire potato with foil and pierce once or twice through the foil and potato using a metal skewer. Repeat with all the potatoes.
- Place your foil packets on direct heat and cook for 40-60 minutes -- the total cooking time will depend on how hot your grill stays and how large your potatoes are. I try to choose small russet potatoes and they take about 40 minutes to cook.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings!
Notes
Storage:
- Store: Store baked potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow them to cool to room temperature before putting them in the fridge.
- Reheat: Reheat baked potatoes in the oven or on the grill at 350ºF for 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, you can chop the potato up and heat the pieces in a skillet with oil to warm up and re-crisp.
