How long do you cook grilled foil packet potatoes and onions on the grill?
Foil packet potatoes on the grill recipes vary depending on the size of the potatoes. Cutting the potatoes for this recipe into 2-inch slices takes about 30 minutes to completely cook.
Can I make these foil packet potatoes in the oven?
Absolutely! I make this same recipe in the oven during the winter months. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. place the foil packet potatoes into the oven. The packets should take about 30 - 40 minutes to bake.
What are the best types of potatoes to use to make potatoes on the grill in foil or on the campfire?
To make potatoes on the grill in foil, my favorite potato is an Idaho baking potato. I also use Yukon gold and red potatoes when I'm making grilled potato slices.
What is the best oil to use to make Grilled Potato Recipes?
I love using Barlean's Coconut OIl flavored with butter to make many recipes including these Grilled Potato Slices. Barleans Coconut Oil has many health benefits and I love to use it in my recipes. You can also use olive, avocado, or grapeseed oil to make these grilled potatoes.
Tips to make Grilled Foil Packet Potatoes:
- Cut potatoes the same size so they cook evenly.
- Feel free to vary herbs to what you have on hand.
- Cooked bacon pieces can be added to the foil packets.
- Also feel free to change cheeses according to what you have available.
Step by Step How to Make Cheesy Grilled Foil Packet Potatoes and Onions:
- On a flat surface, lay out a large piece of aluminum foil, about 20-inch rectangle. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Slice potatoes into 2-inch slices and place on the aluminum foil. Remove the skin from the Vidalia onion. Dice the onion and add the diced onion to the potatoes on the foil.
- Add the melted Barlean's Coconut OIl ( butter flavor) or olive oil to the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and any other herbs you choose.
- Fold foil up on both sides and fold over 2-3 times to close seal the top.
- Fold sides of foil up to also seal sides.
- Place on the grill, turn temperature to 400 degrees. let cook about 20-25 minutes. May take longer if you made larger slices.
- Reopen the foil and sprinkle potatoes with cheese. Cheese will melt quickly.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
