Ingredients for Baked Potatoes On The Grill

  • Russet Potatoes
  • Onions
  • 4 oz bacon, approximately 8 slices

How to Make Baked Potatoes On The Grill

  1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  2. Wash and halve 4 large russet potatoes.
  3. Place a thin slice of 1 medium yellow onion between each potato half.
  4. Wrap each potato half with 2 slices of bacon (approximately 4 oz total).
  5. Wrap each potato tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  6. Place potatoes directly on the grill grates and cook for 60-75 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Flip potatoes halfway through cooking for even grilling.
  7. Carefully remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
