"I love grilling out side dishes along with the main dish, such easy clean up after dinner. This is a recipe I found on the Land O'Lakes recipes. Garlic and lemon are the flavorful seasonings in this easy grilled potato and onion recipe."

ingredients

• 6 medium potatoes, washed, unpeeled, thinly sliced (6 cups)

directions

1. Heat gas grill on medium or charcoal grill until coals are ash white.

3. Bring edges of foil up to center; tightly seal top and sides of each packet.
4. Place foil packets onto grill. Cover; grill, turning once, until potatoes are tender (15 to 30 minutes but will vary depending on grill temp).

Yummy potatoes. I added a little lemon juice to the zest to get a little more lemony flavor. Thanks for sharing. Made for What's on the Menu tag.

These were good, but I found the lemon zest wasn't quite what I was looking for. Would try with lemon juice instead. Thanks! Made for PAC Fall 2012

A truly wonderful way to cook potatoes, that is simple, easy and tasty.<br/>As a family we weren't so taken with the lemon, but loved the garlic and onion....so next time we'll skip the lemon and play around with some other flavours instead.<br/>Nevertheless, it's a great recipe, and a perfect springboard to launch other ideas from...so thanks diner x<br/>Made for Almost Five Sept 2011.

I made a half amount of this yummy recipe last evening and the two of us cleaned it up with no difficulty. Since I don't have any heavy duty foil I just doubled the everyday kind and didn't have any problem with that. Loved the garlic and the lemon gave it a light freshness. This is a really great side and not needing to heat the house is a real in July.
