Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Golds or Red Bliss are best for grilling. They hold their shape well and won't fall apart easily.
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes with a brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: This will help them brown and develop flavor.
  • Wrap the potatoes tightly in foil: This will create a steamy environment that will help cook the potatoes.
  • Grill the packets over medium heat: This will prevent the potatoes from burning.
  • Flip the packets halfway through cooking: This will ensure that the potatoes cook evenly.

Conclusion:

Grilled potato packets are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed with any meal. They're perfect for camping, tailgating, or backyard barbecues.
