Grilled Baked Potatoes

Baking potatoes on the grill is fun and very easy. It requires little attention and some patience but the result is worth it! You will love the smokey flavor potatoes take on from being grilled. So lets get to it! You will need Russet potatoes and you will cook them by the indirect method. So, go ahead and turn on half of the burners on your gas grill or pile up the hot coals into one side of your charcoal grill. You can add wood chunks or chips to the coals after the grill is heated.

Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 60 min

Ingredients

  • Russet potatoes

Instructions

  1. Wash and scrub potatoes well under cold water, leave skin on but cut off any bruises and eyes. Pat dry then use a knife or fork to prick a few holes into each potato.
  2. Coat with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper and wrap in aluminum foil.
  3. Poke a few small holes in the aluminum foil to allow the smoke to penetrate while grilling.
  4. Place the potatoes on the unlit side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook on indirect medium heat for one hour.
  5. Using tongs very carefully remove the foil from the potatoes.
  6. Serve with butter, sour cream, bacon bits and chives.

Grilled Green Beans

Green Beans are awesome on the grill and you don’t need a grilling basket but they do make the work much easier. I used a Aluminum drip pan and cut about 50 holes in the bottom with a knife.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped or 2 teaspoons of granulated garlic
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound green beans (ends trimmed) or haricot vert (no need to trim them)
  • 1/2 lemon

Instructions

  1. Prepare your gas or charcoal grill to medium high heat. Add wood chunks or chips to the coals after the grill is heated.
  2. In a bowl, toss together the olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and green beans, making sure each green bean is evenly coated with all the seasonings.
  3. Allow green beans to marinate for 30 minutes.
  4. Place the seasoned green beans on the grill plate/basket and transfer that to the grill over the flame. Grill the green beans for about 5-10 minutes turning every 2 to 3 minutes until they are just charred slightly and soft.
  5. Using tongs, carefully remove the grill plate/basket from the grill and squeeze the lemon on top of the green beans.
  6. Season with salt and pepper and serve as needed.

The Frost Zone

Once autumn weather drifts into your area, unexpected early frost can ruin tender crops, like tomatoes, while other plants survive—and even thrive—when the temperature drops below freezing. By selecting cold-hardy, frost-resistant plants, knowing your climate zone, and taking the right precautions, you can extend the growing season well into winter—even in not-so-temperate climates. Get ready! The infographic below will help you start your cold-season garden and keep it in production until snow hits.
