Grilled Potatoes - Allergy Free CookBook

Our ancestors grilled potatoes by placing them in the ashes or coals that they kept alive all day. Today, that is generally not an option. Placed on the average grill, a full sized potato will not completely cook before the coals go cold, or the meat is done. Therefore, in order to grill potatoes, it is best to slice or dice them and add butter and salt. Grilled potatoes can come fresh from the garden, bagged from the grocery store, or even canned potatoes. The longer they cook, the softer they'll be. Sweet potato fingerlings may be grilled whole.
