    Arrange the potatoes directly on the grill grate and bake for about 1 hr and 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.

    01:15

    450 ˚F / 232 ˚C

  • Step 4

    Use oven mitts to transfer the potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet. Let the potatoes cool slightly for 5 to 10 minutes. Turn grill temperature down to 375℉.

    375 ˚F / 191 ˚C

  • Step 5

    Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, and scoop the potato flesh into a bowl leaving a 1/4” shell.

  • Step 6

    With a mixer, whip on low speed for about 30 seconds. Slowly add the hot milk (start with 1 1/2 C then see if you need the remaining 1/2 C) and melted butter. Increase the speed to medium-high and whip until the potatoes are fluffy and smooth, 90 seconds to 2 minutes.
