Foil Packet New Potatoes Recipe
Equipment
- heavy duty aluminum foil
Ingredients
- ½ pound new potatoes
- 3 Tbsp. Zesty Italian Dressing
- 2 Tbsp. water
- ¼ tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. each of salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- 2 tsp. oil canola vegetable or olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. parmesan cheese grated
- 1 Tbsp. parsley chopped
Instructions
- Heat the grill to a medium heat
- Tear off a large piece of foil, about 18 inches long
- In a small bowl, whisk the dressing, water, oil and spices
- Add potatoes to the middle of the foil sheet
- Pull up the sides of the foil
- Drizzle the dressing mixture over the potatoes
- Double fold the sides of the foil
- Fold the ends of the foil over to seal the sides
- Grill for about 20 minutes – open packet and check potatoes for tenderness by poking with a fork
- Add Parmesan and parsley
Notes
- When cooking on the grill or campfire, the methods are very similar. I like to use indirect heat to not scorch the bottom of the vegetables. Place the foil packet over a side of the grill without the flame. When using a campfire, push hot grills to the side near the coal on fire to use as a heat source and cook foil packets in the hot coals. Or, if a grill is over the fire, try to move foil packets out of the direct flame.
- Oven – set the temperature for 375 degrees
