Step 1:

To grill the potatoes, start with potatoes boiled in their skins. If you're taking them on a picnic, boil them at home on the stove. If you can boil them over the fire in a pot on-site, bring them raw and cook them there. Choose smooth, evenly shaped, clean tubers of roughly the same size, and avoid varieties that fall apart easily.
Step 2:

Peel the potatoes, which were boiled almost to tender — we'll finish cooking them over the open fire. Cut larger ones in half and leave the small ones whole. Season with salt, ground black pepper, and any other spices you like, then add a little vegetable oil. Toss gently by hand or with a spoon so every piece gets coated with oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 3:

Carefully thread the potatoes onto skewers. Set them over an even bed of medium-hot coals and grill to the level of browning you like. From experience, potatoes grilled well-done come out a bit drier.
Step 4:

Turn the potatoes now and then so all sides brown evenly. Grilling potatoes doesn't take long. The total time depends on how many skewers you have, and the grilling itself takes 10–15 minutes depending on how hot the coals are.
Step 5:

Grilled potatoes are best served right off the fire. Hot off the coals is when they taste their best, with that irresistible smoky aroma!
