FOIL PACKET GRILLED POTATOES
I use small to medium size potatoes. You can either sprinkle real shredded parmesan cheese on these packets during the last five minutes, or just stir in a teaspoon or so of the dry grated stuff in the packet before cooking. One day I'm going to add green peppers and sausage to this in the packet.

Steps:
- Tear off enough foil that when its folded over the potatoes, you can still seal all openings.
- Toss the potato slices, bell pepper and the onion rings with seasonings in a large bowl.
- Place 2 Tablespoons of butter on 1 half of the foil.
- Top the butter with the seasoned potato and onion mixture.
- Place the rest of the butter on top of potatoes.
- Close foil over the potatoes and fold the edges all around to completely seal in all the ingredients.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or grill for about an hour on the bbq, turning often.
- Serve with addition butter and sour cream if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart on the grill. Avoid starchy potatoes like Russet potatoes, which can become too soft and mushy.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly on the grill. If the potatoes are different sizes, the smaller ones will cook faster than the larger ones.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil will help to keep the potatoes from sticking to the grill and will also add flavor. You can also use other types of oil, such as avocado oil or grapeseed oil.
- Season the potatoes well: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- Use a hot grill: This will help to sear the potatoes and prevent them from sticking. If your grill is not hot enough, the potatoes will steam instead of grill.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
- Serve the potatoes hot off the grill: Grilled potatoes are best enjoyed immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
