01
Step 1
Start by heating your grill to high, then close the lid to get it nice and hot. While that’s warming up, lay out four pieces of aluminum foil, about 6 inches square each. Take your potatoes and poke them a few times with a fork, then place each one on a piece of foil. Top each potato with a tablespoon of butter, and sprinkle some parsley and garlic salt over them. Wrap the foil up around each potato so they’re sealed well.

Step 2
Once the grill is ready, turn the heat down to medium and put the foil-wrapped potatoes directly on the grill grates. Let them cook for about 20 minutes, turning them every now and then so they cook evenly and get tender throughout. When they're done, carefully unwrap the foil and serve the potatoes with a dollop of sour cream if you like.
Why you’ll love it
These potatoes come out tender on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Cooking them in foil helps lock in moisture and flavor, making them perfect for outdoor grilling. Plus, they are easy to customize with your favorite herbs and spices.
How to serve
Serve these potatoes alongside grilled meats or vegetables for a complete meal. They also pair well with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley to add brightness and extra flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Let the potatoes cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to maintain their texture.
