Wash your potatoes well. You can make potato halves or whole, depending on your preference. If you want potato halves, cut the potatoes using the knife. You may score the top part for added beauty, which can also speed up the grilling process. 2. Spread or brush oil (or butter) onto the aluminum foil to keep your dish moist. Put the seasoning -- salt, pepper, herbs, and other spices - for the flavor. Put the potato next and wrap it with the foil. 3. Preheat your Weber barbeque grill. Make sure that the heat has stabilized before putting in your potatoes. 4. Place your potatoes on the grill. For oven-like results, use indirect grilling. This means that you put your potatoes away from the flame. Just make sure that the heat circulating is enough by keeping the lid on for the duration of the grilling time.

Remember to turn the potatoes once to cook them through. 5. Serve. You may prepare your baked potato slightly ahead of your steak or pork chop since it cooks longer. If it is cooked already and you are still waiting for the main dish to be finished, dont fret. You can leave the potatoes on your Weber barbeque grill with the foil on and just pop them out when you are ready to serve.
