96°CThe one vegetable worth a thermometer — probe for softness.

On the grill

Unlike most vegetables, a whole potato genuinely benefits from a probe: the centre needs to reach close to 96 °C before the starch has properly softened.

Indirect heat for the bulk of the cook, wrapped in foil or not depending on whether you want a crisp skin, then finish direct if you want char on the outside.
