Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 russet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil optional
  • Coarse sea salt optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
  2. Scrub the russet potatoes under cold water and pat dry.
  3. Prick each potato several times with a fork to release steam.
  4. Brush potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt for extra-crispy skins.
  5. Place the potatoes directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for 45–60 minutes, turning every 15 minutes.
  6. Check doneness by inserting a fork—potatoes should be fork-tender.
  7. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice open, fluff with a fork, season to taste, and serve.
