R: Potatoes in foil packets (Inspired by bananiem)

[piratesmate]

I hadn't done this for years, but did this last week one day when I needed a side for grilled meat & it was too hot in the kitchen.

Thinly slice potatoes (skins on or off as desired). Put in a large bowl to allow easy mixing. Add oil & spices. I used: garlic powder, cardamom, gr celery seed, curry, paprika, sal & pepper. Stir with a spoon to coat evenly. Place in foil packets & grill 8- 10 min on the 1st side, flip & grill 5 min on the 2nd. We then moved the packets to the rack/shelf & grilled the meat. (If you go light on the oil, it helps to spray the foil with a little more before adding the potatoes - to prevent sticking.) DH & DS like their with strips of onion & pepper in the packet also.

I've been doing Boma's Potatoes with Afritude recipe this way, too - just slice into circles instead of wedges.

I like cooking potatoes & other veggies this way onthe grill! I usually add vegetables - onions, peppers, celery, broccoli, etc. - to the potatoes in the same foil.

You can toss them with Italian Salad Dressing as well and then grill in foil. Very tasty.

We had potatoes done up this way for supper tonite,made a extra packet for tomorrows dinner as well! This is great for camping or a picnic as well-just do em up at home and take along-no mess and no clean up-my idea of cooking!! I also do lemon chicken in foil packets-chicken breast with lemon slices and some pepper,comes out very tender. You can also do this with shrimp-yummm....
