GRILLED POTATO FANS
If you're looking for a change from plain baked potatoes, try these tender and buttery potato fans seasoned with oregano, garlic powder, celery and onion. To cut down on grilling time, I sometimes microwave the potatoes for 5-6 minutes before slicing them. -Jennifer Black-Ortiz, San Jose, California

GRILLED POTATOES AND ONION
Always cook up a package of potatoes and onions with the rest of your grilled meal! Start early, because it takes about a half an hour to cook. These cook over indirect heat (off to the side), so you can grill other things at the same time.

Steps:
- Cut into each potato, not completely all the way through, so that you can "fan" it out somewhat.
- Place each potato onto double layer of heavy-duty foil; then insert small wedges of onion between potato slits.
- Pour 2-4 tablespoons of Italian dressing over the potato and onions.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Wrap foil securely around the potatoes and seal tightly.
- Grill, covered, over medium heat for about 50 - 60 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- NOTE: If you wish, these potatoes may be made in the oven. Follow all steps but eliminate # 6 -- Preheat oven to 375 and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes. Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best varieties for this recipe. They have a firm texture that will hold up well on the grill.
- Slice the potatoes thinly. This will help them cook evenly. You can use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife.
- Soak the potatoes in water for at least 30 minutes. This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
- Season the potatoes generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika or chili powder.
- Grill the potatoes over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the potatoes once during grilling. This will ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
- Serve the potatoes immediately. They are best when served hot and fresh off the grill.
Conclusion:
Grilled potato fans with onions are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the onions add a nice sweetness and flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious side dish that everyone will love.
