Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Scrub potatoes and dry well.
  • Cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
  • Scoop out about 1/2 inch wedge from the center of each half.
  • Slice potatoes in a grid pattern, but not all the way through and not all the way to the edges.
  • Mix butter, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper together.
  • Spread over the entire surface of each cut side.
  • Press potato halves back together.
  • Wrap each potato tightly in foil, sealing the ends.
  • Cook over an indirect fire with the grill closed at about 350°- 400° for 45 minutes to one hour until potatoes are tender.
  • Remove from grill and carefully remove from foil.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Conventional Oven Method:
If you aren't grilling, just follow the same directions and bake foil wrapped potatoes at about 400° for 45 minutes to one hour.
Recipe can be doubled as needed and reheats well. It's simple to make a few extra potatoes to enjoy with another meal later in the week.
Store leftover potatoes in foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
To reheat, slice potatoes into chunks and heat in a skillet with olive oil or butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally, cooking about 5 minutes.
