Eight 1/2-pound Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed
Vegetable oil, for brushing
Kosher salt
Unsalted butter, at room temperature, and Salsa Verde, for serving

Directions

1

Light a grill.
2

Wrap each potato in a double layer of foil and arrange them around the hot coals; the potatoes should be close to, but not touching, the coals.
3

Roast the potatoes for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until tender, turning them halfway through.
4

Discard the foil, then brush the potatoes lightly with vegetable oil and season with salt.
5

Grill the potatoes directly on the grate over moderately high heat for about 4 minutes per side, or until the skin is crisp.
6

Split the potatoes in half crosswise, and top with butter.
7

Serve with the Salsa Verde alongside.
