Ingredients

4 Medium Russet Potatoes cleaned and dried
2 Tbsp Avocado Oil
1 Tbsp Sea Salt

Instructions

Preheat the grill over medium high heat to approximately 400 degrees F.
Use a fork to poke holes all over 4 medium russet potatoes.
Place 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a shallow bowl and 1 tablespoon sea salt in a separate shallow bowl.
Roll the potatoes in the oil and make sure that the potatoes are fully covered.
Roll the potatoes in the sea salt and make sure that the outside of the potatoes are covered in the salt.
Microwave the potatoes in a microwave safe dish on high for 5 minutes.
Wrap each of the potatoes in a piece of aluminum foil.
Place the potatoes directly on the grill grates and keep the lid shut.
Allow the potatoes to cook on the grill for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender and the skin is crispy. Rotate the potatoes every 15-20 minutes to avoid grill hot spots.
Allow the potatoes to cool slight before serving. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure that the potatoes are dry before grilling to prevent any burning on the outside of the potato skin.

You can also rub the oil and sea on the outside of the potatoes with your hands if you prefer.

I use heavy duty foil to ensure that the foil does not tear during the cooking process.

Be careful when handling the potatoes on the grill as they do get vary hot. Rotate them with a heat resistant glove on your hand or with tongs.

Store any leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
