If you're cooking your main dish on the grill, take advantage of the grill and make a side dish of baked potatoes on it as well. Brush them with butter, season and wrap them in foil.
4 small Russet potatoes, rinsed well and dried
4 T. butter, melted
2 T. coarse salt
2 T. garlic powder
1/ T. ground black pepper
Optional toppings; sour cream, shredded cheese, Ranch dressing, chives, green onions or cheese sauce
Preheat the grill to 400-450 degrees F.
Tear sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil squares to wrap around the potatoes. For aluminum foil that isn't heavy duty, tear 8 pieces in 12×12 inch pieces, to fold around the potatoes and double wrap the potatoes. Set aside.
Combine salt, garlic powder and black pepper in a small bowl.
Brush each potato all over the entire potato with butter. Sprinkle on one fourth of the seasonings over the entire area of each potato. Wrap them in a piece of heavy duty foil. If using the non heavy duty foil, wrap another piece around them.
Grill for 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes. Potatoes are done with they're easily pierced with a fork.
Serve with toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, Ranch dressing, chives, green onions or cheese sauce, if desired.
