I learned this cool trick a few years ago. It was one of those things that happened by accident.
While grilling a turkey, I placed a few potatoes on the grill over indirect heat to bake them like you do in the oven. In about an hour, they were nice and tender.
I let them cool while the turkey continued grilling, and then, I sliced them in half.
Inside, the potatoes were soft and creamy and begging to be mashed. I scooped out the insides and reheated them in a pot with butter, chicken broth, half and half and spices.
If you’re grilling a turkey at the same time, you can baste the potatoes with the turkey drippings.
Grilled Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 10 Idaho potatoes
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp Poultry Powder
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
Instructions
- Pierce the potatoes with a fork. Place on the top rack of the grill. Rotate after 45 minutes. Grill until tender, about 1 ½ hours.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. When cool to the touch, cut in half. Using a spoon, spoon the soft potato out of the skins. Discard the skins.
- In a large saucepot, melt the butter. Use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes into the butter. Stir in half and half, chicken broth and seasonings and heat over low to medium heat, stirring until smooth.
