How would you make a foil potato recipe?

Foil is a good choice for preparing roasted potatoes over the grill or a cooking fire. Most foil potato recipes are made with sliced potatoes, butter, seasonings and wrapped in a packet made from foil.

Foil Packet Potatoes

Packet potatoes can be made as a side dish to the meat at a barbecue. Use a heavy duty aluminum foil that can withstand the high heat found on a grill.

Prep time: 5 min.

Cook time: 25 min.

Total time: 30 min.

Ingredients:

• 2 baking potatoes with skins on
• 4 garlic cloves with skins on
• 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• Coarse sea salt
• Fresh ground pepper
• 4 whole sprigs of rosemary
• 1 tbsp. minced fresh rosemary
• Lemon wedges

1. Slice the potatoes

Scrub the potatoes clean under water. Slice them into 1/2 inch rounds.

2. Season the potatoes

Mix the olive oil, rosemary and garlic in a bowl. Toss the potatoes with this oil mixture. Season as desired with salt and pepper.

3. Cook the potatoes

Divide the potatoes in half and place each half into a separate aluminum foil packet. Place the packets on the grill directly over the heat. Cook for 25 minutes, turning the packets every 5 minutes.

4. Serve the potatoes

Remove the potatoes from the packets to a serving bowl. Take out garlic cloves and remove the skins. Chop up the gloves and toss to mix. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
