For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of regular butter. Adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or a dollop of sour cream after grilling can enhance the flavor. Other types of onions such as yellow or white onions can be substituted for Vidalia onions if desired. However, Vidalia onions are recommended for their sweetness. Ensure the grill temperature remains consistent for even cooking. If you don't have a grill, these potatoes can also be baked in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 1 hour.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (about 350°F or 175°C) and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes. Carefully slice each potato lengthwise, almost all the way through, creating thin, fan-like cuts. Be careful not to cut through the bottom skin.
03
Step
10 mins
Season and Stuff: Gently pull apart the potato slices. Season generously with salt and pepper, ensuring the seasoning penetrates between the slices. Tuck the Vidalia onion slices and butter pats between the potato slices, distributing them evenly. Add herb sprigs if desired.
04
Step
5 mins
Wrap in Foil: Wrap each potato tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil, sealing the edges to create a packet. This will trap the steam and help the potatoes cook evenly.
05
Step
1 hrs
Grill the Potatoes: Place the foil-wrapped potatoes on the preheated grill. Turn them occasionally to ensure even cooking, grilling for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
06
Step
10 mins
Rest and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the grill and let them rest in the foil for 10 minutes before unwrapping. This allows the steam to redistribute, resulting in a more tender potato. Carefully unwrap and serve immediately.
