Print This Recipe



INGREDIENTS

4 to 6 medium sweet potatoes, yams or white baking potatoes
Vegetable oil or butter

Scrub potatoes and rub skins with oil. Wrap each potato securely in heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Cover and cook potatoes on medium coals, turning 4 or 5 times, until tender (potatoes will be soft when pierced with a fork), 45 to 60 minutes. Or, cover and grill potatoes 5 to 6-inches from hot coals, turning 4 or 5 times, until tender, 1 to 2 hours.

Cut crisscross gashes through foil and into each potato; fold foil back. Squeeze potato gently until potato pops up through opening. Serve with butter and/or dairy sour cream, if desired.

Makes 4 to 6 servings
