Jamies Grilled Hobo Potatoes Recipes

GRILLED YUKON GOLD POTATOES WITH THYME AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Before grilling the potatoes, blanch them. Put the potatoes in cold water and add salt. Bring water to a simmer and cook the potatoes until they are tender.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan on medium-high heat.
• Slice the potatoes lengthwise and add to a large mixing bowl with the thyme, garlic, and olive oil. Season with gray salt and pepper and toss to coat the potatoes well. Grill the potatoes over indirect heat for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until well marked and fully cooked.

GRILLED & ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• This recipe works great as a stand-alone dish, but also as a component in Jamie's Steak night from Together - see the full collection of menus here.
• ON THE DAY Pick the sage leaves into your largest roasting tray, then use a speed-peeler to strip in the lemon peel, and squeeze in the juice. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then break apart the unpeeled garlic bulb into the tray. Scrub the potatoes, then cut into 1cm-thick slices. Working in batches, place on a large screaming-hot griddle pan for a couple of minutes on each side, pressing them down with a fish slice until beautifully bar-marked, and transferring to the roasting tray as you go. Toss together, then spread out in a single layer. Cover until needed.
• TO SERVE Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Roast the potatoes, uncovered, for 45 minutes on the top shelf, or until cooked through and lightly golden. Squeeze the soft garlic cloves out of their skins, to serve.

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.

HOBO POTATOES

Steps:

• After washing potatoes slice with skin on.
• Lay potato slices into a good size piece of aluminum foil.
• Slice onion and put on top of potatoes.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Slice up pats of butter on top of potatoes and onions.
• Seal up aluminum foil around potatoes and onion to make a closed package.
• Put on grill over indirect heat and cook for 1 hour.
• Ten minutes before serving open packet and place sliced cheese on top of potatoes and onion.
• Reseal and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Open packet and enjoy!

ARIZONA HOBO POTATOES

Steps:

• Grills vary widely, so you may need to experiment with the heat setting. For my propane grill, I use medium-high heat, or even high heat, high enough to sear/brown the meat dish when I throw them on the grill.).
• Wash potatoes and cut into slices 1/4 inch or so with skin intact.
• Slice onion into thin slices, then separate into rings.
• On heavy duty aluminum foil, about 18" to 24" long, put in the center a layer of potatoes (leaving plenty of foil on each side and each end to fold and seal the packet).
• Follow with a layer of onion rings.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a hint of garlic (powder, or freshly minced).
• Repeat layers, dotting each second layer with butter.
• Wrap the foil securely around the layers. Should make a packet about 15"-18" long and 10" wide.
• Put the foil package on the grill about 45 minutes to an hour before the intended serving time. (These can also be prepared as described, but placing the packet in a stainless steel skillet on the stove top. Or in the oven. Be creative!).
• It's okay if the bottom layer "caramelizes;" some will love those bottom pieces!
