GRILLED POTATO PACKETS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss potatoes with green onions, bacon, salt and pepper. Place half of the mixture on a greased double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square); dot with 1 tablespoon butter. Fold foil over potato mixture and crimp edges to seal. Repeat to make a second packet., Grill, covered, over medium heat 20-23 minutes on each side or until potatoes are tender. Remove from grill., Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle potatoes with cheese. Grill opened packets, covered, 3-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

FOIL PACKET COUNTRY POTATOES ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Cut two sheets of aluminum foil to 20 inches in length and arrange them cross-wise on a flat surface.
• Place 2 tbs. butter in center of foil.
• Arrange potatoes, onion and garlic atop butter in center of foil. Sprinkle with seasonings and place remaining 2 tbs. butter on top.
• Bring ends of top layer of foil together and fold downward 3-4 times toward the potato mixture, leaving enough slack so that the mixture doesn't spill too much out the sides.
• Repeat with bottom layer of foil until tightly sealed.
• Place packet on top rack of grill and cook, covered, for 30-35 minutes. Do not turn.
• Remove packet from grill with oven mitts, being careful not to tear the bottom of the packet.
• Carefully open foil and serve directly from packet.

POTATO PACKS (FOR THE GRILL)

Steps:

• Put out a piece of aluminum foil large enough to envelope an entire pack (about the size of a dinner plate).
• Spread 1/8 cup better on the foil. Sprinkle half the crushed garlic on the butter. Season with salt, pepper and lemon pepper. I use salt sparingly and pepper and lemon pepper generously.
• Spread half of the onions, half of the mushrooms, half of the green pepper, and half of the jalapeno on top of the seasoned butter.
• Cover with the potato.
• Cover with the remainder of the onion, mushrooms, green pepper and jalapeno.
• Put the rest of the garlic on top. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon pepper. Spread the rest of the butter (1/8 cup) on the very top.
• Roll up the aluminum foil to cover all the ingredients. Use a second piece of aluminum foil to secure.
• Put on the grill for around 20 minutes or until done, flipping at least once.
• Open the aluminum foil up and enjoy!

GRILLED SAUSAGE WITH POTATOES AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• On a large sheet of foil, place the green beans, red potatoes, onion, and sausage. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with oil, and top with butter. Tightly seal foil around the ingredients, leaving only a small opening. Pour water into the opening, and seal.
• Place foil packet on the prepared grill. Cook 20 to 30 minutes, turning once, until sausage is browned and vegetables are tender.

ON THE GRILL POTATO PACKETS

Steps:

• When the fire is lit but not ready, lay out 8 pieces of foil (about 12 by 8 inches) and brush with olive oil.
• Shingle an eighth of the potatoes in a circle in the center of each piece of foil. Break the onion slices into rings and scatter evenly over each potato ring. Equally divide the remaining olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper over the potatoes.
• With the potato rings intact, bring the two large edges of foil to the center, sealing firmly.
• Fold over the other two short edges to seal. Place on a medium or medium-hot fire for 20 to 25 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through (Cooking in foil packets is not an exact science, so remember to check one packet after 20 minutes for doneness and to make sure the bottom isn't burning.
• If necessary, finish cooking with another foil sheet under the packets.).
