Steps:
- 1. Combine diced potatoes and onion onto a piece of heavy duty foil - shiny side up - large enough to leave 2-3 inches of clear foil on either side and 4-5 inches top and bottom of your potato pile
- 2. Sprinkle 1 tsp of the steak spice over potato mixture, toss, then sprinkle the 2nd tsp.
- 3. Place chunks of the butter both on the bottom and top of your potato pile
- 4. Bring the top and bottom edges of the foil together and fold over several times, leaving some air space between potatoes and foil.
- 5. Repeat with each side of your foil package until a sealed pouch is formed
- 6. Cook pouch indirectly on the BBQ - meaning on an upper rack, over a non-burning element, or to the side of your burning charcoal - for 30mins, turn the pouch every 8-10. Total cooking time will vary with heat level of BBQ/fire mins
- 7. When potatoes are cooked, the pouch will swell up with steam. Note - this will only work if your pouch is well sealed and you haven't accidentally poked a hole in it during handling
- 8. Open foil pouch and serve. Watch out for the steam when you first tear the foil - especially if the pouch is puffed up! Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold and red potatoes are ideal for this cooking method, as they hold their shape well and become fluffy on the inside.
- Cut potatoes evenly: Uniformly sized potato pieces will ensure even cooking.
- Season generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings - salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs are all great options.
- Use a good quality cooking oil: Olive oil or avocado oil will add flavor and help the potatoes crisp up.
- Don't overcrowd the pouch: Leave enough space for the potatoes to cook evenly.
- Seal the pouch tightly: This will help create a steamy environment inside the pouch, which will help the potatoes cook quickly and evenly.
- Shake the pouch occasionally: This will help prevent the potatoes from sticking together and ensure even cooking.
