Method
- Preheat Your Blackstone GriddleTurn on your Blackstone griddle and preheat it to medium heat (around 375–400°F). Allow it to heat evenly for about 10 minutes before placing the potatoes.
- Prep the PotatoesWash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Using a fork, pierce each potato 3–4 times to allow steam to escape during cooking.
- Season the SkinsIn a bowl, coat each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings like garlic powder or paprika. This helps the skin become flavorful and crispy on the griddle.
- Wrap or Leave UnwrappedYou can choose to wrap the potatoes in foil if you prefer a softer, steamed skin. For a crispy skin, leave them unwrapped and place directly on the griddle surface.
- Grill the PotatoesPlace the potatoes on the griddle. Cover with a griddle dome if available to trap heat and cook more evenly. Rotate every 10–15 minutes to ensure all sides cook evenly. Total cook time is 35–45 minutes, depending on size.
- Check for DonenessUse a knife or fork to pierce the center of a potato. It should slide in easily when fully cooked. If still firm, cook an additional 5–10 minutes and check again.
- Load It Up! (Optional)Once done, slice open each potato and fluff the insides with a fork. Add your favorite toppings—butter, sour cream, cheese, green onions, bacon bits, or anything you love.
- Serve and EnjoyServe hot off the griddle! These Blackstone baked potatoes are perfect as a hearty side dish or a satisfying main when fully loaded. Enjoy the crispy outside and fluffy, buttery inside with every bite.
