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 soooooooo good.

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:
- Use the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for Arizona potatoes, as they are large and starchy, and will hold their shape well when cooked.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in water for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
- Season the potatoes liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Cook the potatoes in a hot oven. This will help them to brown and crisp on the outside, while remaining fluffy on the inside.
- Serve the potatoes hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing or ketchup are both popular choices.
