Grilled Potatoes
- Ingredients
- 8 potatoes
- 2 Tbsps Canola oil
- 2 Tbsps Sesame seeds
- 2 garlic cloves
Scrub potatoes under running water and pat dry.
Halve potatoes lengthwise and brush cut surfaces with oil.
Place sesame seeds on a plate. Dip cut surfaces of potatoes in seeds to coat.
Peel garlic cloves and cut into thin slices.
Put 1-2 slices garlic between 2 potato halves and wrap firmly in aluminum foil. Place directly on the hot coals of a heated grill and cook until potatoes are tender, 30-40 minutes. Serve hot from the grill with dipping sauce, if desired.

Healthy, because
Potatoes are much healthier than their reputation: the tubers contain plenty of vitamin C, B vitamins, potassium, and fiber. If they are prepared as barbecued potatoes with as little fat as they are here, there is no danger whatsoever to your figure, and they keep you full for a long time.
Even smarter
Combine the baked potatoes with an avocado dip and you have a main course. The potatoes are also ideal as a side dish with grilled foods, such as grilled salmon trout. You can replace the garlic with a few rosemary needles, depending on your taste.
