Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Then, pierce each potato several times with a fork.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning mixture.
  4. Tear off 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long.
  5. Place one potato in the center of each foil sheet. Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes, making sure to coat them evenly on all sides.
  6. Fold the foil over the potatoes and crimp the edges to create a sealed packet. Repeat this process for each potato.
  7. Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and close the lid. Cook for about 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Flip the packets halfway through cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
  8. Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill using tongs. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before opening the packets.
  9. Serve the grilled potatoes in foil as a delicious side dish. You can optionally top them with additional chopped herbs for added freshness and flavor.
  10. Enjoy!
