Ingredients

  • 5 red potatoes
  • 1 Vidalia onion halved and sliced
  • 3/4 cup zesty Italian dressing 6 ounces
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the potatoes. Use a fork to prick a few holes in the potato.
  • Microwave the potatoes for 5-10 minutes (depending on your microwave strength) until they are just barely softened (about 80% baked). Allow the potatoes to cool slightly. 5 red potatoes
  • Heat a grill to 400ºF.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the potato in 1/4-1/2" slices, making sure to not cut all the way through to the bottom.
  • Place the potato on a piece of aluminum foil big enough to wrap the entire potato. Stuff the slices carefully with slices of onion. Drizzle several tablespoons of dressing over the potato. 1 Vidalia onion, 3/4 cup zesty Italian dressing
  • Fold the aluminum foil around the potato tightly. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
  • Place the potatoes on the preheated grill and allow them to finish baking for 15-20 minutes. Because grills can vary in heating, move/adjust the potatoes to a different spot on the grill every 5 minutes so that they cook evenly.
  • The bottoms of the potato should get slightly crispy because of the oil in the dressing. Unwrap the potatoes and serve warm. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, to taste.
