These potato packets are the perfect side dish for backyard barbecues, camping trips, and summer celebrations.

Ingredients

2 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 lb (450 g))

4 tsp olive oil or melted, unsalted butter

Sea Salt (to taste)

Black Pepper (to taste)

4 tsp water

1/2 cup prepared Hollandaise Sauce

Preparation

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Cut potatoes into 1/8" slices and place in a large bowl. Add oil, rub, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  3. Lay out four 12" pieces of aluminum foil in front of you. Divide potato slices between the four pieces of foil. (It’s okay if the potatoes overlap slightly.) Add 1 tsp water on top of each potato-lined piece of foil.
  4. Place a 6" piece of aluminum foil over each potato-lined piece of foil. Roll up edges of bottom of each piece of potato-lined foil and fold over the top of each 6" piece of foil to seal in the potatoes and form a packet.
  5. Place packets on grill. Grill, with lid closed, 15 min, or until tender. Using tongs, carefully remove packets from grill.
  6. Open packets carefully; serve with sauce drizzled on top. Add additional toppings, if desired.

Recipe Note

Making these Grilled Potato Packets by the campfire? Try cooking the packets in the hot embers coals until tender.

Going camping? Assemble the potato packets before your trip and place them on the grill when you’re ready to cook!

To slash grilling time by 10–12 minutes, microwave sliced potatoes on high, covered, for 5 min to soften before tossing with oil and rub and wrapping in foil to grill.
