I'm doing them for dinner tonight but have never done them before. How long do I cook them on the grill? Any recommendations on recipes? Thanks.

I would love to hear more as well. Everyone has been posting pictures of them lately, I assume thanks to Wolgast, but I'm really not sure how to make them.
 
I'm no swede and I only done this twice but I know taters pretty good. I use the spoon trick for cutting. Oil em up then put em in a foiled pan covered at 450 for bout 40 min then uncover top with your flavored bread crumbs or cheese and back on 20 min.

of course, following recipes to a tee is not required.
I've found the easiest method slicing the potatoes is using two wood spoons.
One on each side of the spud and using a sharp pairing knife, cutting thin sections. The wood spoons prevent the knife from cutting completely thru the tater, keeping it intact.
I prefer to use soft butter (NOT oleo or margarine) and baste the taters often. The recipe states using an oven, but a high-heated grill works well.
The topping can consist of a mixture breadcrumbs with softened BUTTER (again, NO oleo or margarine), fresh grated cheese (of your choice) and a pinch of salt and pepper.
