Grilled and Baked Potato Methods Emphasize Foil Wrapping and Kosher Salt

One cooking guide explains how to grill potatoes wrapped in double layers of heavy‑duty aluminum foil and brushed with olive oil, creating a fluffy interior and a lightly crisped skin. The method relies on sealing steam inside the foil packet while the grill provides gentle heat.

Another chef, Dana DeVolk of The Silly Girl's Kitchen, advises that applying coarse kosher salt to potatoes before baking draws moisture from the skin, producing a crackly, flavorful crust. She recommends seasoning the potatoes in advance and choosing low‑moisture varieties such as Maris Piper or King Edward for optimal results.
