I grilled potatoes with our steaks and mine had a black spot in it right under the part that was face down on the grill. Mom says it happens all the time but is this a thing from using charcoal?
It just looked dark like charcoal which made me think it might be from that. But I seen it before too. Does fire make it happen more? Just wondering.
My steak was great i did it like in the video.

That has nothing to do with cooking with charcoal. I grill potatoes all the time and unless there is something wrong with the spud they come out great here are a few that I did the other day with a chicken.
I have no pics of them cut open but, they were perfect, no black spots anywhere. Taters are great on the grill. -
Looks like the potato had the black spot in it before cooking and was just not noticed.

I just cut the dark spot out and eat that sucker! yum yum. :P
I bake potato's in my egg all the time. I usually bake them indirect. I have a busted pampered chef on the cast iron grate so I bake till the potato is done then sear my steaks. In this picture I have a home made skewer setup for my potato's but you can just place your potato's on the stone instead of skewering it.
by the way I rub olive oil on my potato's and then sprinkle kosher salt on them before baking. Tim

THey are all correct Dave, the black spot is just a bad spot in the potato, I use a firebrick to do mine, acchieves the same effect as 2fat's pizza stone.
when I did them direct, I used to turn them at least once, either way the goal is a nice even cook

Dave,
Just cut those spots out. More importantly don't forget to poke'em before ya cook'em.
That is 100% of the inside of the spud you see. I was standing with one of the dogs and we heard it happen. Some funny stuff. -
Those look great Thank you

Don't eat anything weird on potatoes. They are part of the night shade or something family and the weird stuff is usually poisonous.

Was just a potato grub:
Pure protein, don't worry about it.
I actually grew up on a potato farm, those things are way too prevalent._____________"Pro-Life" would be twenty students graduating from Sandy Hook next month
