Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 lb red potatoes
1 large yellow onion
1 red bell pepper (or green bell pepper)
1 lb smoked sausage (cut into 2" pieces)
1 Tbsp olive oil
salt (to taste)
4 large heavy-duty aluminum foil

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high or an oven to 400 degrees. Scrub potatoes well then pat dry using a kitchen towel. Cut potatoes into 1" cubes and place in a large mixing bowl. Dice onion and bell pepper into large 1" pieces.
Drizzle veggies with olive oil and season with salt. Toss to coat completely in oil and distribute salt. Place ¼ of the veggie mixture into the center of one sheet of foil then add ¼ of the smoked sausage on top of the veggies.
Fold long sides of foil up and over sausage mixture and bring edges together. Roll the foil together, moving downward until you're about 1"-2" from top of sausage mixture. Fold both short ends together to seal the packet, but make sure to leave enough space inside the packet for steam expansion.
Place packets directly on grill or on a baking sheet in the oven. Grill 20-25 minutes or bake 30-35 minutes in the oven or just until the potatoes are tender. Remove from grill or oven and allow packets to rest for 5 minutes. Carefully open packets to let steam escape before digging in.

FOIL-PACKET POTATOES AND SAUSAGE

Foil-Packet Potatoes and Sausage image

My family enjoys camping and cooking over a fire. These hearty foil-packet potatoes turn out beautifully over a campfire, on the grill or in the oven at home. We sometimes leave out the sausage and serve the potatoes as a side dish. Either way, it's so easy, and the spuds can be served right from the foil pouch for easy cleanup. The recipe also tastes amazing when cooked in a Dutch oven. -Julie Koets, Elkhart, Indiana

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss are best for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and won't become mushy when cooked in the foil packet.
Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
Season the potatoes and sausage: Be generous with the salt and pepper, and add any other desired seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Use good quality sausage: The sausage is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a sausage that you enjoy the taste of.
Don't overcrowd the foil packets: Leave some space between the potatoes and sausage so that they can cook evenly.
Seal the foil packets tightly: This will prevent the juices from escaping and keep the potatoes and sausage moist.
Cook the foil packets over medium heat: This will help to prevent the potatoes and sausage from burning.
Check the potatoes for doneness: Insert a fork or knife into the potatoes to check if they are tender.
Let the foil packets rest for a few minutes before opening: This will allow the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:

Foil packet potatoes and sausage is a simple and delicious one-pot meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to cook potatoes and sausage when camping or tailgating. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious meal ready to enjoy in no time.
