Potatoes:
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered into 1/2 inch pieces
Seasonings:
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Additional:
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Prep foil packet: Place 2 large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil over each other. Add potatoes, onion, cheese, butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Create a foil pouch, pour chicken broth, and seal well.
- Cook foil packet: On grill/fire, cook for 30-40 minutes or until tender. In the oven, bake at 425°F for 30-35 minutes. Be cautious when opening due to hot steam.
Notes
- Regular potatoes like Yukon Gold can be substituted; peel and dice into ½ inch pieces.
- 2 teaspoons of dried herbs can replace fresh parsley.
- For direct coal cooking, use heavy-duty aluminum foil; for a grilling rack, a double layer of regular foil is sufficient.
