Fold the corners of the aluminum foil together and seal to form a pouch around each portion.

GRILLED SWEET POTATOES
This recipe originally came from Quick Cooking. The time it takes to cook can vary a lot depending upon the heat of the fire, the size of the potato, or how you package it up. When we are in a hurry, I have even cut the potato into chunks and divided it up between four pieces of foil. It is super easy, healthy, and goes well with pork chops or Recipe#267975. When we go camping this is often on our menu. Sometimes I have put the honey on before grilling, and I think that is okay, too.
