Steps:
- Grills vary widely, so you may need to experiment with the heat setting. For my propane grill, I use medium-high heat, or even high heat, high enough to sear/brown the meat dish when I throw them on the grill.).
- Wash potatoes and cut into slices 1/4 inch or so with skin intact.
- Slice onion into thin slices, then separate into rings.
- On heavy duty aluminum foil, about 18" to 24" long, put in the center a layer of potatoes (leaving plenty of foil on each side and each end to fold and seal the packet).
- Follow with a layer of onion rings.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a hint of garlic (powder, or freshly minced).
- Repeat layers, dotting each second layer with butter.
- Wrap the foil securely around the layers. Should make a packet about 15"-18" long and 10" wide.
- Put the foil package on the grill about 45 minutes to an hour before the intended serving time. (These can also be prepared as described, but placing the packet in a stainless steel skillet on the stove top. Or in the oven. Be creative!).
- It's okay if the bottom layer "caramelizes;" some will love those bottom pieces!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix potatoes, oranges, orange peel, red onions, oregano, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk mustard, vinegar and garlic, then add olive oil in a thin stream, whisking until emulsified. Pour dressing over potato and orange mixture, and toss gently to combine.
- Tear off 6 12-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and stack in two piles (three sheets each). Pour half the potato mixture into center of each top sheet of foil. Shape ingredients on each sheet into a pile 6 inches by 6 inches, and pour any dressing left in the bowl over the piles. Wrap ingredients in each pile in the top sheet of aluminum foil, sealing it tightly, followed by the second and third sheets.
- Prepare a fire in the grill. When flames have subsided and coals are glowing, carefully remove grill grate, and set hobo packs directly on coals. With tongs, gather a few hot coals around hobo packs. Replace grill grate, and let cook 25 minutes. Remove grill grate, and with kitchen mitt or spatula, remove hobo packs from grill. Cut a vent through top of each pack, and serve.

Steps:
- Divide potatoes between 2 large sheets of foil, then lift edges of foil around potatoes to form a nest so the oil won't leak. Divide garlic, rosemary, and oil between packages, then sprinkle each with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Bring edges of foil together to enclose each package, covering completely, then crimp to seal packages closed.
- Prepare a grill for medium, indirect heat, preferably with hardwood or hardwood charcoal. Place foil packages near the coals and cook, moving packages around the coals occasionally for even cooking, until potatoes are tender, 30-45 minutes.
- Do Ahead
- Packets can cooked and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape better than starchy potatoes like Russet, making them ideal for hobo potatoes.
- Wash potatoes thoroughly: Scrub potatoes with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.
- Poke holes in potatoes: Use a fork to poke holes all over the potatoes. This helps the butter and seasonings penetrate the potatoes and cook them evenly.
- Generously season the potatoes: Use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, to enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
- Wrap the potatoes tightly in foil: Make sure the potatoes are completely wrapped in foil to prevent them from drying out during cooking.
- Cook the potatoes over a campfire or in the oven: If cooking over a campfire, place the potatoes in the coals and cook for 45-60 minutes. If cooking in the oven, bake the potatoes at 400°F for 60-75 minutes.
- Add toppings: Once the potatoes are cooked, open the foil packet and add your favorite toppings, such as butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, or chili.
Conclusion:
Hobo potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be cooked over a campfire or in the oven. With a variety of toppings to choose from, hobo potatoes can be customized to suit any taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give hobo potatoes a try!
