How to Make Foil Packet Grilled Potatoes

  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  2. Wash and scrub 1.5 lbs small to medium-sized potatoes. Cut into 1-inch thick slices.
  3. Place potato slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to combine.
  4. Divide the potatoes evenly among 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  5. Optional: Add 1/2 cup sliced green bell pepper and 1/2 lb Italian sausage (removed from casings) to each foil packet.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese over each packet or stir in 1 teaspoon of dry parmesan cheese into each packet before sealing.
  7. Fold the foil over the potatoes to create sealed packets. Crimp the edges tightly to prevent leakage.
  8. Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and cook for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are tender and slightly charred.
  9. Optional: During the last 5 minutes, remove the packets if you used fresh parmesan and open the foil slightly to let the cheese melt and brown.
  10. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
