Ingredients

  • 4 baking potatoes I used Russets (medium to large size) washed, not peeled.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or any vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt if you don’t have garlic salt, you can use regular salt.

Instructions

  • Prepare your BBQ for indirect heating. Heat the BBQ to 350 degrees F
  • Clean the potatoes, pat dry and place on a plate. With a fork, poke 4 to 6 times each potato.
  • Coat each potato with olive oil, or any vegetable oil you are using.
  • Mix together salt and garlic salt (if using garlic salt). Sprinkle a thin layer of salt over the potato and gently rub it. (At this point the skin of the potato should be coated in oil and salt)
  • Cut 4 pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil (Make sure the pieces are big enough so you can wrap the potato individually)
  • Wrap each potato individually in a piece of heavy-duty foil.
  • Place the wrapped potatoes on the heated grill. Close the lid and let it cook for 30 minutes.
  • Rotate the potato and cook for an additional 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 205 to 207 degrees F.
  • *Because we had big potatoes, we cooked for an additional 30 minutes. Time will vary according to the size of your potato. After the 1 hour mark, I would check the potato every 10 or so minutes.*

Notes

Nutritional value will depend on the size of your potatoes.
