Foil Packet Country Potatoes on the Grill
"This is one of my favorite summer potato recipes. It's so easy to make. I like to cook mine a little longer, so those potato and onion slices at the bottom of the packet are browned and buttery crispy. I like to cook these potatoes while grilling meat, so everything is done all at once without too much effort. Whenever I make this, we fight over who gets to scrape the bottom of the packet for the browned bits of potatoes and onions."

Super simple and great tasting. Was a great complement to a grilled steak. Thanks for sharing. Made for What's on the Menu tag. -
This was yummy and easy! I didn't have garlic cloves so used some powder. Even my picky kids liked it. It went well with the steaks on the grill. I might try it next time with a little less butter and some salt only and then mash and add sour cream for a baked potatoe taste. -
Simple and quick. I added a bit more garlic and a juice from half a lemon. Will make again. Thank you! -
Simple to assemble and quick to make, this recipe worked out perfect when we cooked out on the grill. Loved the spices and they went real well with the potatoes. We give this one 5 stars!

<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am 33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. I am amazed at how quickly our kids are growing and developing. I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as preservatives, hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc. With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed. I'm doing the best I can to protect my family from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive. I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p>
