Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat; close cover. Lay out three 18-inch long pieces of aluminum foil on a work surface, dull side facing up.

Fold up the edges of the foil over the vegetables to create an almost leak-proof packet, making sure to seal the edges. Repeat with last 2 pieces of foil and the remaining ingredients to make 2 more packets.
- Reduce the heat of the grill to medium. Place foil packets on the grate; cook until potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

LEMON, POTATO AND FETA FOIL PACK

Steps:
- Prepare a grill to medium-high heat (about 450 degrees F). Halve the lemon. Cut one half into quarters and thinly slice. Set the other half aside.
- Add the sliced lemon to a large bowl along with the potatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of black pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss well.
- Spread the potatoes in the middle of a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil that's about 30 inches long. Scatter the feta cubes over top. Bring up the long sides of the foil and fold a seam in the center. Fold the ends in to seal the ingredients; make the seal as airtight as you can, but don't wrap the ingredients to snuggly; you want some room for the air to circulate around them as they cook.
- Place the packet on the grill grate. Grill, covered, moving the packet occasionally so it cooks evenly, until the potatoes are caramelized and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. (You should be able to hear the potatoes sizzling in the packet as they cook.)
- Carefully unwrap the potatoes and squeeze the remaining lemon half over top. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use small, waxy potatoes such as baby potatoes or fingerling potatoes. These potatoes hold their shape well when grilled.
- Slice the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If the potatoes are not sliced evenly, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Toss the potatoes with olive oil and seasonings: This will help the potatoes to brown and develop flavor. You can use any seasonings you like, but some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
- Wrap the potatoes in foil: This will help to keep the potatoes moist and prevent them from drying out. Make sure to seal the foil packets tightly so that the steam cannot escape.
- Grill the potatoes over medium heat: This will prevent the potatoes from burning. Cook the potatoes for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Conclusion:
Grilled Greek potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for summer picnics and barbecues, but they can also be enjoyed year-round. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
