Ingredients for Arizona Hobo Potatoes

  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, quartered
  • Sweet Onion
  • Butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic

How to Make Arizona Hobo Potatoes

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F).
  2. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into quarters.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Ensure all potatoes are evenly coated.
  4. Divide the seasoned potatoes evenly among four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  5. Place a pat of butter and a slice of onion on top of the potatoes in each foil packet.
  6. For added flavor, consider adding 1-2 slices of bacon to each foil packet.
  7. Carefully fold the foil over the potatoes to create a sealed packet. Crimp the edges tightly to prevent any leakage.
  8. Place the foil packets directly on the preheated grill.
  9. Grill for approximately 40-55 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and slightly charred.
  10. Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill using tongs. Let them rest for 5 minutes before opening.
  11. Open the foil packets carefully to release the steam and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
