Grilled Potatoes

Jane Rhodes-Williams's Note:

This is great to serve with grilled chicken or pork! Cook potatoes first, then move to an area without coals to keep warm while you are cooking your meat. Recipe can be varied to suit any dietary restrictions you may have. Can be baked in oven for 1 & 1 2

This is one of our family favorites, we usually use paprika on the potatos.

We loved these potatoes! I used russets and they baked up in about 45 minutes. The onion in the middle gives it a really yummy flavor. I love how easy this recipe is. Thank you for posting!

These were great!! The onion in the middle was excellent with the salt and pepper and butter. I used russet potatoes. I grilled for 1/2 hour and they were perfect. DH really enjoyed these. No more microwave short cuts here for baked potatoes!! Thanks a bunch!!
