How do you cook a baked potato on a BBQ?!
Answers: if you rap the potato in foil and put it on a BBQ to cook, how long will it take?
Wash potatoes and wrap in foil. Place over medium coals or med heat on gas grill. close lid and roast, turning once when baking is half done.
For small potatoes, roast for 30-40 minutes
for med 40-50
for large 50-60
I live a a mile high--at sea level and lower altitudes, the cooking time will be at the lower end of the times listed.
To check for doneness, you should feel some "give" if you squeeze it with a potholder. They will continue to cook for a short time after being removed from the grill. YUM!
depends on how high you have the grill, but it will take less than the oven method. The last time I cooked them, it was about 30 minutes, with the lid down.
I pre cook mine in the micro wave and place them,without foil, on the top rack of my bbq. It takes about 10 minutes,long enough to cook a steak,to get a nice crispy jacket.
Rub the potato's with shortening first, then wrap and put on the BBQ 30-45 minutes
falling back on my boyscout days, wrap it in foil and put it directly in the coals for about 10-15 minutes, then check with a fork by sticking the potato. It should be soft, not hard and crunchy
wrap em in foil with a touch of oil and a teaspoon of all-spice or other seasoning blend shaken onto 'em for about 15 mins
cheers!
I slice baking potatos in 3/4 slices. I placed a slice of onion, and butter between each slice of potato, salt and pepper, wrap in foil and place on BBQ for 30 minutes. quick, easy and different.
4 large baking potatoes
2 sticks butter
Wash and pierce the potatoes with a fork and wrap each one in double thick, heavy duty tin foil. Place the potatoes directly onto hot coals and cook for approximately 45 minutes, turning potatoes often, using tongs. Split the potatoes and top with 1/2 stick of butter for each potato.
(wrap your potato with a slice of bacon before wrapping with foil - delicious!)
i always just spritz the potato with olive oil rub it with kosher salt then wrap it up in foil toss in on the grill and check it every 15- 20 minutes
its done when you can squeeze it easily...tender.
the time it takes will depend on the temp of the grill how much other food is on it and the nature of the food . coal placement and pretty much everything
sorry i cant give u an actual set time the more u do this the easier it gets and youll just know when they are done.
I slice the russet in lengthwise quarters, brush with olive oil, use Adobo for seasoning and place the pieces directly on the grill surface. Grill these for 15-20 minutes, brushing occasionally with olive oil and turn to the uncooked surface for another 15-20 minutes, or until the flesh is browned. If they brown too quickly but are not cooked through, place them in the microwave for 2 minutes. Then serve with sour cream and chives. My dinner guests love these.
when you poke the potato in the center and the poking device goes in easily then your potato is done
I use a Weber Charcoal grill. Sprinkle olive oil on the spud then toss on a bit of sea salt. Wrap in foil, 30-40 minutes on the grill, I like to take 'em out of the foil for the last 5 min so the skin gets crunchy.
About 40 minutes on medium heat,I do this a lot,onions too,while the New York Strip is just a sizzilin,cold Bud Light in hand !!
