Grilled Russet Potatoes

These are very tasty and easy, albeit you do have to tend them closely on the grill at the end.  Glad I read the comments section on the original post, as it was quite helpful; my version below is how I adapted it based on what I read.


Ingredients:

4 Russet potatoes (long/oval shaped are best)
1/2 T. kosher salt
1/2 T. coarse ground black pepper
1/2 T. garlic powder
~2-3 T. olive oil
~1 tsp. each chopped fresh rosemary and thyme

Directions:

1. Prepare your grill (if you have a gas one, use medium-high heat; I have charcoal, so no 'setting').

2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot (about half full) of salted water to boil.  Peel potatoes and cut into 6 long wedges each, then add to the boiling water.  Boil for 5 minutes, then drain.

3. In a large bowl, combine salt, pepper, and garlic powder.  Stir in the olive oil, then toss potatoes in the mixture. 

4. Arrange potatoes on the grill around the edge (not directly over the coals); reserve the olive oil mixture/set aside.  Cover grill and let cook for a few minutes, then turn and cook a couple more minutes.

5. Move potatoes directly over coals and watch carefully, checking for doneness after a minute or two.  They will be turning golden and have nice grill marks when ready.  Transfer to a plate as they finish.

6. Stir the fresh rosemary and thyme into the reserved olive oil mixture.  Brush potatoes to coat lightly with mixture and enjoy!
