ARIZONA POTATOES
Got this recipe years ago from my friend, Margie. Not sure why it's called Arizona Potatoes. But I do know that it has become a staple at all of our parties. It's made the day before and then placed in the oven the day of the party. Nothing dietetic about this one as you'll see from the ingredients, which would explain why it's...

Steps:
- Grills vary widely, so you may need to experiment with the heat setting. For my propane grill, I use medium-high heat, or even high heat, high enough to sear/brown the meat dish when I throw them on the grill.).
- Wash potatoes and cut into slices 1/4 inch or so with skin intact.
- Slice onion into thin slices, then separate into rings.
- On heavy duty aluminum foil, about 18" to 24" long, put in the center a layer of potatoes (leaving plenty of foil on each side and each end to fold and seal the packet).
- Follow with a layer of onion rings.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a hint of garlic (powder, or freshly minced).
- Repeat layers, dotting each second layer with butter.
- Wrap the foil securely around the layers. Should make a packet about 15"-18" long and 10" wide.
- Put the foil package on the grill about 45 minutes to an hour before the intended serving time. (These can also be prepared as described, but placing the packet in a stainless steel skillet on the stove top. Or in the oven. Be creative!).
- It's okay if the bottom layer "caramelizes;" some will love those bottom pieces!

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for Arizona Potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them fluffy and crispy when fried.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the potatoes are not cut evenly, the thicker pieces will take longer to cook and the thinner pieces will overcook.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch, which can make the potatoes gummy.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly: This will help them to crisp up when fried.
- Use a well-seasoned skillet: This will help to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
- Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Flip the potatoes occasionally: This will help them to brown evenly.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: Arizona Potatoes are best served hot out of the skillet.
