It is summer, the season of the grill. And grilling is great for preparing main dishes. But what about side dishes?
Before you reach for the standard coleslaw or potato salad, try these packets from my great-aunt Gladys that cook right on the grill:
Potato Packages
Ingredients:
- 4 potatoes, washed and thinly sliced
- 1 onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon butter or margarine
- salt and pepper to taste
- aluminum foil
- olive oil in a pump sprayer (or cooking spray)
Spray the aluminum foil with olive oil to prevent sticking. Layer 1/4 of the potatoes, 1/4 of the onion, 1/4 of the butter on a sheet of aluminum foil. Repeat. Add salt and pepper, then seal up packet of potatoes. Repeat for the rest of the ingredients. Grill over the not-so-hot part of the heat until potatoes are soft.

This looks very delicious I’ve tried to cook something like this before as an experiment but I ended up burning the potatoes because I forgot to put some butter that’s why right now I’m hooked checking recipes on books and onlline I’ll try your recipe.
PS. I’ve seen another yummy recipe today it’s Crockpot you might want to do this too.
Sweet potatoes are also great when quartered, skinned, and roasted on a grill in a little bit of olive oil and kosher salt wrapped in foil. …and the same goes for turnips!
…off to the grill!
This is a good alternative to regular potatoes. Plus sweet potatoes are chock full of nutrients!
