Italian Style Grilled Potatoes Recipes

GRILLED POTATOES WITH ONIONS

Steps:

• Wash and dry the potatoes.
• Use a fork to prick a few holes in the potato.
• Microwave the potatoes for 5-10 minutes (depending on your microwave strength) until they are soft, but not too soft. (About 80% baked.)
• Allow the potatoes to cool slightly.
• Using a sharp knife cut the potato (the short way) about 1/4-1/2", making sure to not cut all the way through to the bottom.
• Place the potato on a piece of aluminum foil big enough to wrap the entire potato.
• Stuff the slices carefully with slices of onion.
• Drizzle several tablespoons of dressing over the potato.
• Fold the aluminum foil around the potato tightly.
• Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Heat a grill to 400 degrees.
• Place the potatoes on the grill and allow them to finish baking for 15-20 minutes. Because grills can vary in heating, move/adjust the potatoes to a different spot on the grill every 5 minutes so that they cook evenly.
• The bottoms of the potato should get slightly crispy because of the oil in the dressing.
• Unwrap the potatoes and serve warm.
