  • Use aluminum foil pouches: Foil pouches help to create a sealed environment that cooks the potatoes evenly and prevents them from drying out.
  • Season generously: Toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper before cooking. You can also add other herbs and spices like rosemary, thyme, or paprika for extra flavor.
  • Cook over medium heat: Cook the potatoes over medium heat to prevent them from burning. You can adjust the heat as needed.
  • Check for doneness: Pierce the potatoes with a fork or skewer to check if they are done. They should be tender but still hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Pouch-grilled potatoes and garlic are a simple but flavorful side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. The foil pouches make cleanup easy, and the potatoes can be cooked on the grill, in the oven, or even over a campfire.
