Tried and True potatoes on the grill ?

[Chocolate Moose]

We're at the point where we can make good steaks, burgers, dogs, and veggie kabobs on the grill. I'd like to round it out with some potatoes perhaps - anyone ?

heavy foil.

red potatoes, cut in half or 1/4's depending on the size.

sprinkle with parsley, garlic powder, and plop in globs of real butter, not spread.

fold up the foil like a pouch and throw on grill.
i forget how long my husband does that part, i just assemble it

sometimes I plop in real garlic buttons, or i toss in some green onion slices.

whatever. but they are yummy.

My favorite way to prepare potatoes for the Grill-

Lay down two big sheets of aluminum foil (Doubled)

SLice Potatoes into 1/4 inch thick rounds
Lather with Pats of Butter
Load with sliced onions
Pepper and Lawry's Seasoning to taste

Wrap up in a double layer Aluminum Foil and throw on the Grill. Takes about 25-30 minutes.

Oh Yummm....now I'm Hungry.

Herbed two-potato skewers

3-4 boiling potatoes about 1 lb.
2 small sweet potatoes or yams, about 1 1/2 lbs.
1/2 cup olive oil
2 T. chopped fresh parsley
1 T. fresh thyme or tarragon, or 1 t. dried
1/4 t. red pepper flakes
1/2 t. freshly ground pepper
1/2 t. salt

Steam all the potatoes on a rack over boiling water until barely tender (15-20 minutes)
Remove to bowl and cover with cold water, let stand for 2 minutes, drain and dry with absorbent towels/ Cut into 1 1/2 chunks and thread them onto skewers.

In a small bowl whisk together other ingredients, set aside. Arrange skewers on grill rack. Grill turning frequently and brushing occasionally with herb mixture, until skins are brown about 5 minutes.


I hate turning skewers so after the potatoes are cool I add them in a ziploc bag to the herb mixture leave for awhile and then grill in a grilling basket.

I usually baked my potatoes on the grill. I slice almost in 1/2, add butter, onion, salt, garlic, and pepper on the potato and then wrap in heavy foil. I usually grill about 45-60 minutes depending on the heat of the grill. I will test and feel if they are soft. I then take off and let sit until we are ready. Not sure this will help but it works for me.

I also put chopped green peppers in with my potatoes.

Shoot! I just wash the darn things, poke a few holes with a fork or skewer, and throw on the barbie. If I am short on time, I will nuke them for 3 minutes. If I am getting creative, I put them UNDER the sausages that I am slowly cooking on the top layer (Yummm)

It isn't how they are cooked, it is how you dress them!!
