Bbq Potato With Onion & Garlic

"Easy recipe and comes out with a wonderful flavor. Use Baking Potatoes for this recipe. I like to put extra onions around the potatoes as it is difficult to get a lot between the cuts. The onions will char but the flavor goes right into the potatoes Serve with sour cream and bacon bits if you like"

  1. I LOVED this recipe! I had issues with fitting the onion slices into the cuts, so I lay the onion slices flat in 2 layers of 3 each. Since I was making Sicilian Steak (Bistecca Alla Siciliana) as the main course, I placed a slice of prosciutto between each layer instead of using bacon bits. My compliments on a great recipe!
     
  2. I made these with smaller potatoes, cut only three sections, used a few squirts of spray butter right over the onions and they came out reallllly good! We just watched them on the grill and as soon as we could squish them a little with the tongs we took them off. I was so surprised at the flavor! The onion flavor was really infused into the potato. They were so flavorful we didn't even need the sour cream or bacon! We will be making these everytime we grill! Thanks Bergy!
     
  3. Yum! These potatoes were fantastic. The potatoes I had were faily small, so they only needed about 40 minutes on the bbq. I sprinkled some paprika and sea salt on the potatoes as well and loved the flavour combination. Thanks for posting!
     
  4. These are great! I served these with grilled ribeyes and a salad, and the whole meal was just wonderful. I love the flavor from the onion and the garlic. The only change I made was to use fresh chopped garlic. Can't wait to make these again.
     
  5. Ah, I was just going to post these when I saw they were already here! I usually add a generous sprinkling of ClubHouse 'Steakhouse Pepper' seasoning as well. YUMMMMMM!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
