Wash the small potatoes thoroughly, removing any dark spots.

Wrap each potato individually in a piece of aluminum foil.

Prepare the grill with either charcoal or wood embers, waiting until the flames die down and only the embers remain.

Place the wrapped potatoes directly on the embers.

Cook the potatoes for about 30 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Check the potatoes for doneness; they should be tender inside.

Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the embers and unwrap them carefully.

Optionally, add salt and butter or olive oil on top before serving.
