Cedar Planked Spuds are a flavorful and unique twist on traditional baked potatoes. By cooking the potatoes on cedar planks, they absorb the smoky flavor and develop a crispy exterior while remaining fluffy on the inside. This recipe is perfect for a summer BBQ or outdoor gathering.
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 4 cedar planks (soaked in water for 2 hours)
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chives
Directions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Scrub the potatoes and slice them into 1/4 inch rounds.
- Brush the potato slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the soaked cedar planks on the grill and arrange the potato slices in a single layer on top of each plank.
- Grill the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and lightly charred.
- Serve the cedar planked spuds hot with your favorite toppings.
