What Makes This Dish So Tasty

These potatoes come out tender and flavorful every time. Wrapping them in foil locks in moisture and helps them cook evenly. They are a great side dish for any grilled meal and require minimal prep.

Pro Cooking Tips

- Cut potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Add a little olive oil and your favorite herbs before wrapping for extra flavor.
- Use medium heat on the grill to prevent burning the foil and potatoes.

Directions

Warm your grill to high, then close the lid to get it nice and hot. Tear off four pieces of aluminum foil, about 6 inches square each, and set them out on your workspace. Take each potato and poke it a few times with a fork, then place it on a piece of foil. Add a tablespoon of butter on top, sprinkle with parsley and garlic salt, and wrap the foil around the potato securely. Turn the grill down to medium heat, then put the foil-wrapped potatoes on the grill. Let them cook for about 20 minutes, turning them every now and then to make sure they cook evenly. When they’re tender, carefully take them off the grill, unwrap the foil, and enjoy with a dollop of sour cream if you like.

Simple Serving Suggestions

Serve alongside grilled meats, fish, or vegetables. They pair well with fresh herbs like parsley or chives and a dollop of sour cream or garlic aioli for added richness.

Keeping Leftovers Fresh

Allow the potatoes to cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the grill to maintain their texture.
