How long do you cook a baked potato on the grill?

The time it takes to cook a baked potato on the grill depends on a few factors, including:

* Size of potato: Larger potatoes take longer to cook.

* Grill temperature: A hotter grill will cook the potato faster.

* Method: Wrapping the potato in foil will take longer than grilling directly on the grates.

Here's a general guideline:

* Medium-sized potato (4-6 ounces): 45-60 minutes wrapped in foil, 30-45 minutes directly on the grill.

* Large potato (6-8 ounces): 60-75 minutes wrapped in foil, 45-60 minutes directly on the grill.

Tips for grilling a baked potato:

* Pre-heat your grill: A hot grill is essential for even cooking.

* Wrap in foil: Wrap the potato tightly in foil for a more even cook and a softer texture.

* Poke holes: Poke a few holes in the potato before wrapping to allow steam to escape.

* Flip halfway through: Flip the potato halfway through the cooking time to ensure it cooks evenly.

* Check for doneness: Use a fork to check for doneness. The potato should be soft and tender.

For a crispy exterior:

* Grill directly on the grates: Grill directly on the grates for the last 10-15 minutes for a crispy exterior.

* Brush with oil: Brush the potato with oil before grilling directly on the grates.

Remember, these are just general guidelines. The best way to determine doneness is to test the potato with a fork. Enjoy!
