Scale
Potatoes:
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered into 1/2 inch pieces
Seasonings:
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Liquid:
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Prep foil packet: Place 2 large pieces (at least 20 inches long) of heavy-duty aluminum foil over each other to form a cross. Add potatoes and onion in the middle. Sprinkle with cheese, butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat. Fold up the sides to create a sealed pouch. Pour chicken broth over potatoes. Seal packet well.
- Cook foil packet: On a grill/fire over medium heat, cook for 30-40 minutes until tender. In the oven, bake at 425°F for 30-35 minutes. Be cautious when opening as steam will escape.
Notes
- Regular potatoes like Yukon Gold can be used; peel and dice them.
- 2 teaspoons of dried herbs can substitute for fresh parsley.
- Heavy-duty aluminum foil is recommended for direct coal cooking; a double layer of regular foil on a grilling rack works too.
