Two of my favorites, both personal creations. Both are very simple.
The first is an adaptation of a baked potato that my Grandmother used to make. She would slice a baking potato lengthwise, score the sliced half in a checkerboard pattern, cover it with butter and place face down on a cookie sheet in the oven. I've modified that for the grill. I prepare the potato as she did, butter the sliced portion but also the skin. Sprinkle with course salt and ground pepper. Place face down on aluminum foil that I have spayed with Pam (canola oil version) and bake on the top rack of my grill (cover closed, approx 400 degrees). Takes about 30 minutes. Really great with chops or steaks. Probably my favorite potato.
The other is also for the grill. Peel and cube as many potatoes as needed. Microwave them until nearly cooked. Place them in a huge foil packet and add butter, and various cheeses (cubes of cheese). Seal the foil packet and place on the grill to allow the cheese to melt. Makes a great potato side dish that is fairly easy to prepare and does not take much time on the grill as it is nearly cooked when you place it on the grill.
