You may be wondering… how long to cook potatoes on grill?! And the answer will vary depending on the size of the potatoes and the heat of the grill.
For these foil wrapped potatoes on the grill, we are cutting them into smaller pieces so that they cook faster. If your potatoes are bigger, they’ll take longer, but you can just stick a fork or knife in them, when they feel tender, take them off the grill.
PRO TIP: Be sure to open the grilled potato packets after you take them off the grill or they will continue to cook.
