Grilled potatoes are even better than baked

Tired of the same old baked potato? Try grilled potatoes instead.

From time to time I like to mix things up from the traditional old barbecue experience. I can't claim this technique as being original to Cooking-Outdoors but it is an original idea for me when I started to cook my potatoes this way. I think I was working on grilled french fries or something to that effect. I started slicing my spuds in half and decided to stop there. Spiced them up and threw them on the grill. WOW!! They just popped, great crispy outside and soft potatoes on the inside.

You can use any type of potato you prefer, Idaho, Red, Purple, Yukon Golds, etc. I was fortunate to have some fresh Yukon Gold potatoes from a friend to use and they were amazingly good.

Wash and clean your potatoes real good. Then slice them in half from stem to bottom.

Coat them in some oil oil and rub your favorite potato spices on them. I use Garlic salt, Pepper and Parsley. Cooked them for about 15 minutes on each side! Bet you can't eat just one………..
