Two Takes on a Classic: How to Bake Potatoes on Your Gas Grill
What's the perfect accompaniment to your grilled steak? A baked potato, of course! If you associate baking a potato with an oven, then think again. Baking potatoes on the grill alongside your meat creates an easy meal option that lets you stay outside and avoid heating up the kitchen.

Baking potatoes on your gas grill is so easy that anyone can do it. In fact, gas grills are ideal for cooking potatoes because the heat is so even. Whether you're a traditional potato eater who likes a steaming baked potato with sour cream, or you're a potato skin lover who likes to score presentation points, you'll be able to grill your potatoes with ease.
Here are two simple options for flawless grilled potatoes.
Option 1: The Traditional Whole Potato
After thoroughly washing the potatoes, spread a thin layer of cooking oil on aluminum foil. Use about 1 tbsp. for each potato. The oil will help keep the potato moist. If you're feeling adventurous, try adding some spices or herbs to the oil. For example, you can sprinkle some garlic and pepper or a little cayenne pepper as you spread the oil evenly across the foil.
Wrap each potato individually in the aluminum foil.
Put the grill on low heat. You might want to start baking the potatoes before you cook the rest of your meal. They will stay hot for several minutes wrapped in the foil. You can also microwave them ahead of time to reduce cooking time. If you do choose to microwave, be sure to poke holes in the potatoes with a fork.
You can place the potatoes anywhere on the grill, but avoid the hottest part. The top rack is the most convenient place, reserving the main shelf for your meat.
Cook for approximately 45 minutes, turning occasionally. Cook with the lid closed. Potatoes are done when a fork is easily inserted into the center, or they feel slightly soft when squeezed. Do not overcook.
Option 2: Crispy Potato Halves
If you're interested in a prettier presentation, faster cook time, and crispy skins, try these simple steps:
Slice the potatoes in two, lengthwise. Score the tops of the potatoes to create a grid pattern that makes a nice presentation and speeds grill cooking time. Brush the tops of the potatoes with cooking oil. Sprinkle seasonings (herbs, spices, salt, pepper, etc.) to taste. Place skinside down on the top shelf of the grill. Cook for about 30 minutes. Follow these easy steps to bake a traditional foil wrapped potato, or a crispy open-faced potato. Try both recipes for variety. Either way, you'll create a tasty side dish that will complement your steak, chicken, or other meat. Throw your vegetables on the grill, too, and you'll have a perfect meal all cooked in one place with easy clean-up.
