2. Cooking Directions
- Heat grill to medium-high.
- Meanwhile, place potatoes, shallots, oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat. Place two 24-inch-long pieces of foil on the counter and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange potatoes and shallots in a single layer, slightly overlapping, on half of each piece of foil. Leave a 2-inch border on all sides. Fold foil over and pinch the edges together, making two packets.
- Place packets on the grill. Cover the grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. (When you open a packet to check doneness, be careful of steam.) Serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings
3. Still Hungry?
Cooking potatoes in a foil packet means one less pot to wash, and highlights the delicate, earthy flavor of just-dug new potatoes.

Great recipe!
Jeff - July 4, 2007 10:30:13 AM PSTEasy to clean up, great taste, fun to experiment with: try butter, seasoned salt, and garlic powder. I usaully cook them about 20-30 minutes to get them extra tender. Only downside is that if your cooking for alot of people they take up alot of space on the grill.

Easy side dish on the grill
Adriana D - December 9, 2007 04:20:15 PM PSTI don\'t bother with the two layer foil idea. Just cut up a bunch of potatoes, onions, squash, zucchini (get creative), use either oil or butter (butter makes the potatoes brown better). I put the butter on the foil first, then add pot/onion/squash/zuke, season with salt/pepper (I use garlic salt), put a few more pats of butter on top, then fold the foil from the top down and bring the sides in, but keep the foil loose so the potatoes are in a "pocket." I cook mine for at least 45 minutes over the hot flame, then move to the cool side while cooking my meat/chicken/fish. It is awsome and easy. Haven\'t tried it yet but I like the Pam non stick spray idea cuz the potatoes on the bottom usually stick to the foil. The bigger the foil, the more potatoes, the more people you can feed!

shortcut for grilled potatoes
chaesy2k - July 21, 2008 12:21:56 PM PSTTo shorten the time on the grill, I cut the potatoes and microwave them in a bowl with the onions and olive oil - stirring occasionally before putting them in the foil. While they are in the microwave I can finish preparing the other food items for the grill. This cuts down the time on the grill and they still have that great grilled taste.
