Grilled Roasted White Or Sweet Potatoes Recipes

GRILLED ROASTED WHITE OR SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes. If soft skin is desired, oil skins well.
• For crisp skins, do not oil.
• Place potatoes over medium hot grill and cook, turning every 15 minutes or so, until tender when pierced with a fork.
• Russets or other large potatoes usually require 1 to 1 1/2 hours; small potatoes 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Serve hot, slit skin and press potato to push up flesh through skin.
• Serve with lots of butter, salt, and pepper.

GRILLED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Divide the sweet potato cubes in half, and place each half in the center of a rectangle of aluminum foil. Top each portion with about half of the butter. Sprinkle about half of the brown sugar, cumin, and cayenne pepper over each portion. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the corners of the aluminum foil together and seal to form a pouch around each portion.
• Cook on the preheated grill, turning pouches every 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes.

GRILLED POTATOES OR ROASTED POTATOES ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in microwave until tender but firm (about 3-4 minutes).
• Cool (at least an hour works best) and cube.
• Microwave onion pieces for about 1-2 minutes so they are slightly soft.
• Mix with cubed potatoes.
• Coat thoroughly (but lightly) with olive oil and as much seasoning salt as you like.
• Place mixture on grill, I recommend using a vegetable/seafood grate, over hot coals. Cover to prevent flair-ups due to the oil.
• Cook approximately 20 minutes, until golden, turning about every 5 minutes.
• Serve with sour cream and/or ketchup.
• This method can be used for squash, broccoli, carrots etc.
• You can also use garlic salt or other spices like oregano in place of, or in addition to, the seasoning salt.
