Grilled Russet Potatoes
Serves4
Ingredients
- 4 Farmer's Promise Russet potatoes, scrubbed and pierced with a fork
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Optional toppings: butter, chives, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits
Instructions
- Wash potatoes. Use a fork to prick holes on all sides of the potatoes.
- Wrap potatoes individually in damp paper towels. Microwave potatoes on high, one at a time, until tender (about 7minutes). Remove paper towel and allow potatoes to rest until cool enough to handle.
- Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Brush or rub all sides of the potatoes with 1-2 teaspoons olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder, to taste.
- Preheat a grill (or indoor grill pan)over medium-high heat. Grill the potatoes flesh-side down, about 5 minutes, until there are visible grill marks. Flip potatoes over and place on upper rack of the grill (indirect heat) to keep them warm and to allow the skin a chance to get crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from grill and finish potatoes with optional toppings.
