Instructions
-
Preheat the Grill:
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. This ensures that the potatoes cook evenly and get a nice char. -
Prepare the Ingredients:
On a large sheet of aluminum foil, arrange the potato slices in a single layer, followed by the onion slices. Scatter the butter in small pats across the potatoes. -
Add the Flavorings:
Top the potato and onion mixture with roasted garlic and fresh parsley. Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. -
Seal the Foil Packet:
Carefully fold the aluminum foil over the ingredients to create a tightly sealed packet. This will trap the heat and steam, ensuring the potatoes cook evenly and become tender. -
Grill the Potatoes:
Place the foil packet on the preheated grill. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the size of the potato slices and the heat of your grill. -
Serve:
Once cooked, remove the foil packet from the grill carefully, as it will be hot. Open the foil, and serve the grilled garlic potatoes immediately as a savory side dish.
Tips for Success:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: For the best texture, use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes. They hold their shape well and donβt become mushy.
- Customize the Seasonings: Feel free to add your favorite herbs, like thyme or rosemary, to the foil packet for added flavor. A dash of garlic powder can also intensify the garlic taste.
- Grilling Tip: If you want a crispier texture, open the foil packet during the last few minutes of grilling to let the potatoes get a bit of direct heat and develop a slight crisp.
