Savory Cheese Potato Packets Recipes

GRILLED SAVORY CHEESE POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Spray 1 (18x18-inch) sheet of heavy-duty foil with cooking spray. Place potatoes on center of foil. Drizzle with dressing; mix gently. Sprinkle with cheese blend.
• Bring up 2 sides of foil over potatoes so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.

SAVORY SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Thinly slice 6 Yukon potatoes (we used a mandoline for an even consistent cut).
• In a saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. Add in flour and whisk until smooth. Add bay leaf and begin to add the Almond Breeze while constantly stirring with a whisk. Add garlic, nutmeg, and thyme. Mix in Parmesan cheese and vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a simmer to thicken. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaf and remove almond milk mixture from heat.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease your casserole dish with a nonstick spray.
• Lay half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the casserole dish. Pour half of the Almond Breeze mixture over the the potatoes. Repeat the process until you have a second layer. Spread the Cheddar on top and place casserole dish into the oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender and fully cooked.

LEMON, POTATO AND FETA FOIL PACK

Steps:

• Prepare a grill to medium-high heat (about 450 degrees F). Halve the lemon. Cut one half into quarters and thinly slice. Set the other half aside.
• Add the sliced lemon to a large bowl along with the potatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of black pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss well.
• Spread the potatoes in the middle of a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil that's about 30 inches long. Scatter the feta cubes over top. Bring up the long sides of the foil and fold a seam in the center. Fold the ends in to seal the ingredients; make the seal as airtight as you can, but don't wrap the ingredients to snuggly; you want some room for the air to circulate around them as they cook.
• Place the packet on the grill grate. Grill, covered, moving the packet occasionally so it cooks evenly, until the potatoes are caramelized and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. (You should be able to hear the potatoes sizzling in the packet as they cook.)
• Carefully unwrap the potatoes and squeeze the remaining lemon half over top. Serve sprinkled with parsley.
