For meat that is more than an inch and a half thick, you might want to close the lid of the grill to decrease the cooking time.

TIP! One way to make mashed potatoes retain their taste but contain a little less fat and calories is to replace some of them with equal amounts of cauliflower. Cauliflower blends perfectly with your potatoes without changing the taste of your mashed potatoes.
