Fully Loaded Grilled Potato Packets Recipes

GRILLED POTATO PACKETS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss potatoes with green onions, bacon, salt and pepper. Place half of the mixture on a greased double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square); dot with 1 tablespoon butter. Fold foil over potato mixture and crimp edges to seal. Repeat to make a second packet., Grill, covered, over medium heat 20-23 minutes on each side or until potatoes are tender. Remove from grill., Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle potatoes with cheese. Grill opened packets, covered, 3-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

GRILLED POTATOES IN FOIL (POTATO PACKETS)

Steps:

• Place foil packets on the counter and spray with cooking spray.
• Wash and slice potatoes (and onions/mushrooms if using).
• Place potato slices (approx 1 potato per packet) and any optional toppings on each foil piece. Top with a generous pat of butter and salt/pepper to taste. Fold each packet closed.
• Grill over medium heat for 30 minutes or until soft.

GRILLED CHEESY LOADED POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for direct and indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes, turn off one of the side burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
• Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet on direct heat and add the bacon; cook, stirring often, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel lined plate; set aside.
• Add the potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir to coat with the bacon fat, then move to indirect heat and cover the grill. Cook, uncovering the grill and stirring every 5 minutes, until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the Cheddar and move back to direct heat. Cook, uncovered, until the potato bottoms are golden and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes, depending on the heat of your grill. Let cool for 10 minutes, then dot with the sour cream and sprinkle with the scallions and reserved bacon.

GRILLED POTATO BUNDLES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Pile the potatoes and onions evenly on 6 squares of foil. Add 2 tablespoons butter to each and splash on some cream. Sprinkle on some paprika, salt and black pepper, then finish with a sprinkle of minced parsley on top. Fold the foil pieces to wrap into bundles.
• Place the potato bundles on the hottest spot on the grill for 30 minutes. Serve the bundles right on the dinner plates.

GRILLED POTATO, CARROT, AND ONION FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Peel and cut up the potatoes and carrots into bite-size chunks. Chop up onion.
• Combine all veggies in tin foil or foil baking bag. Season with desired amount of seasoning salt and top with butter. Seal foil well (you may need more than one bag, so the vegetables are done evenly).
• Grill until potatoes and carrots are soft, about 40 minutes (flip bags at least 3-4 times during grilling). Remove from grill and place the veggies in a large bowl and add the sour cream, mixing well.

ON THE GRILL POTATO PACKETS

Steps:

• When the fire is lit but not ready, lay out 8 pieces of foil (about 12 by 8 inches) and brush with olive oil.
• Shingle an eighth of the potatoes in a circle in the center of each piece of foil. Break the onion slices into rings and scatter evenly over each potato ring. Equally divide the remaining olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper over the potatoes.
• With the potato rings intact, bring the two large edges of foil to the center, sealing firmly.
• Fold over the other two short edges to seal. Place on a medium or medium-hot fire for 20 to 25 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through (Cooking in foil packets is not an exact science, so remember to check one packet after 20 minutes for doneness and to make sure the bottom isn't burning.
• If necessary, finish cooking with another foil sheet under the packets.).

POTATO PACKETS
