Grilling baked potatoes whole takes 30-45 minutes in foil on the grill, if the potatoes are whole. If you’re running short on time, parboil your potatoes for 10 minutes before you put them on the grill or microwave them for 3 minutes per side, and you’ll only need to grill your baked potatoes for 5-10 minutes. Test to see if your potatoes are cooked properly by poking them with a toothpick.

Grilling baked potatoes that have been cut into slices or wedges requires just 5-10 minutes on the grill at medium heat, depending on the thickness of your potato chunks. Season the potatoes by rubbing them with olive oil or canola oil and your favorite spices, and place them directly on the grill next to your meat or in a grilling basket with other vegetables. Keep the potatoes on the grill until they’re crisp and golden brown.
