Summer Baked Potatoes

We love baked potatoes but in the summer we do them BBQ style. I take the potato and after washing, cut them in half. Put a few slashes in the with you knife and add a dab of butter and some salt and pepper.
Wrap them in foil and put them on the barbecue first and let them cook a little before you start your meat.
When fork tender remove and enjoy. We add a dab of sour cream and a sprinkle of season salt.


Here they are all wrapped and waiting for the barbecue to heat up. I wish I had a picture of them done but the family was hungry and dived and I just said what the heck, no pic.

  4. Oh I like this idea. Have you ever timed them? Just wondering how long they take to cook this way.

  5. I alwasy mircoware the spuds for 5 mins 1st, that way they don't take so long on the BBQ.

    I sometimes also, make a bunch of slices in the spud then insert slices of raw onion, butter & S&P, then wrap.

    Thanks so much for that idea! I have never done potatoes that way, but I'm going to the next time that we barbeque.

  9. Hi Elaine,
    I totally understand about not getting the photo before it is all gone. This is a great idea and I will be trying it, sure is better than heating up that oven. Hope you have a great week end and thanks for sharing with Full Plate Thursday!
    Come back soon,
    Miz Helen
