Grilled Potatoes are easy to make when grilling meats and other vegetables. Add a few ingredients to the potatoes and wrap in aluminum foil for a deliciously tender and tasty side dish.
Although I can make food on the grill, I encourage the hubby to do it, lol. He does a lot of grilling and is much better at it than I am.
Grilled Potatoes and Onions Recipe
The house doesn't get hot when we grill, and that is a plus this time of year. This recipe is similar to scalloped potatoes without cheese but you could always add cheese! We love scalloped potatoes. There's one little trick I use to make these potatoes unforgettable.
What's the Trick?
When you start putting the ingredients in the heavy-duty foil "boat," put the shiny side up and give it a good coating of butter. Our tip is to place the sliced onions next, in a single layer. As they cook, they will be beautifully caramelized and the flavor is so much better.
After buttering the foil and slicing the onions, add the potatoes, then pour in the milk. Top with salt and pepper.
What You Need
You'll need a grill, heavy-duty aluminum foil, measuring cups and spoons, a knife, and a cutting board.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion (sliced thin)
- 4-6 small red potatoes (or Yukon gold or any waxy potato)
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
-
Cut a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
-
Place the shiny side up and fold the foil up to make a large casserole-shaped "boat."
-
Spread the butter on the foil.
-
Lay the onion slices on the foil in a single layer.
-
Wash and slice the potatoes into ⅛" slices.
-
Place the sliced potatoes on top of the onions.
-
Pour the milk into the foil boat over the potatoes and onions.
-
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
Fold each side of the foil together and seal the edges by folding the foil over itself, making a sealed package for grilling.
-
Place the package on a medium-hot grill (about 350°F), with the onion side down.
-
Bake the package for about 40 minutes with the onion side down. You want the onions to caramelize.
-
Turn the package over and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the liquid is bubbling.
-
Remove the package of potatoes from the grill and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
