How to Make Grilled Potatoes You'll find a detailed ingredient list and step-by-step instructions in the recipe below, but let's go over the basics: The Best Potatoes for Grilling Russet potatoes are the best for grilling because they’re starchy, which means they stay fluffy on the inside and crisp up nicely on the outside. How to Cook Potatoes On the Grill Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you make homemade grilled potatoes: Poke the potatoes and microwave for five minutes. Slice each potato, then microwave for two more minutes. Brush the potato halves with oil, season, and grill until crispy. How Long to Grill Potatoes You’ll par-cook the potatoes in the microwave before grilling for about seven minutes in total. This helps get them nice and tender, plus it speeds up the grilling process (so they won’t get too charred before the insides are fully cooked). On a grill preheated to medium heat, the potatoes should be perfectly grilled after about 15-20 minutes. Remember to turn them halfway through cooking!
