Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (900 g) baby potatoes or new potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional, or use your favorite seasoning blend.

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  • In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Divide the potatoes into three equal portions. Place each portion in the center of a large piece of aluminum foil. Fold the foil over the potatoes and seal the edges tightly to create packets.
  • Place the foil packets on the preheated grill. Cook for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are tender. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork.
  • Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam). Serve hot, optionally topped with sour cream and chives.

Notes

  • For even cooking, cut each potato in half, and quarter any extra large ones so that everything is relatively the same size.
  • Instead of baby potatoes, you can make this recipe with full-sized potatoes, cut into rounds. 
  • Use any type of grill! This recipe works for making roasted potatoes on a gas grill or grilling potatoes on a charcoal grill.
  • To cook over a camp fire: Be sure that you're cooking over hot coals rather than flames, and set the foil packs on a rack a few inches above the coals.
  • Adjust the seasoning. Instead of Italian seasoning, try Cajun seasoning, ranch seasoning, or any spices that you enjoy. 
  • Check for doneness. After 30 minutes, you can carefully unwrap one of the packets and test for doneness with a fork. I recommend wearing oven or grilling gloves so that you don't burn yourself with steam.
  • Add Veggies: For extra flavor, add some sliced onion, or diced bell pepper to each potato foil packet.
