Notes
- No foil packets: Grilled potatoes taste best when placed right on the grill without any barrier. Foil is best used when baking a full potato on the grill. You could also use a grill pan to make this recipe.
- Soaking potatoes: Since these potatoes are cut into thin rounds, they do not need to be soaked before they are tossed in oil and placed on your preheated grill. Soaking potatoes in water removes some of the starch which is best when cooking potatoes in an oven where there is more even and dry heat.
- Best grilling potatoes: I believe that the best potatoes for grilling are Yukon gold potatoes because of how naturally buttery and soft they are. They cook pretty quickly on the grill and have a wonderful flavor. You could also use red potatoes as an alternative.
