Any instructions for baking potatoes along side of steak being grilled at high temperature directly?

    Phil...You will have difficulty baking a potato direct like a steak without charring the skin. How about nuking the spuds till they are just about done (usually about 8 minutes) then just crisping the skin on the Egg? Great baked taters though when cooked indirect at 350-400 degrees for about an hour. :);)

    Don't poke, foil, or burn them. They need to be about 212° internal. I cook mine anywhere from 250° up to 500°. Above 450° I will try to keep them out of the direct radiant heat and I roll them so the skin won't completely burn. I don't' at all mind a few black crispy spots on the skin.

    I rub mine in olive oil and put seasoning on the outside. If nothing else just throw some kosher salt on the outside. I foil them tightly and throw them on a 350 degree egg raised direct for about an hour and 15 minutes turning once at 30. When they get soft inside the foil I remove them and place them on the direct grid while I bring the egg up to 700 for the steaks. I let them set on the grid out of the foil for maybe 5 to 7 minutes. This just crispens up the outside just a little bit. Remove them and lay them on a pan with foil over the top to keep them warm while your cooking your steak. Good Luck

    Al,

    :woohoo: :woohoo: Foil :woohoo: :woohoo:

    :):)

    If you haven't done so, sometime take one potato and use your oil & seasoning or salt and give it a try. Taste the difference than one that is foiled.

    I put bacon fat salt and pepper on my bakers on the Egg at 400* indirect for about an hour, then I pull the platesetter and get the temp up to searing

    Okay, okay. I will go without foil the next time just for you! :woohoo: :woohoo: And I promise to give honest feedback.

    I do mine at about 450 raised direct. I turn occasionally. I have never used foil.
