Instructions:

Prepare Potatoes:
- Begin by washing the potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Then, slice them in half lengthwise, creating two equal halves.
-
Assemble Potato Packets:
- Tear off 12 squares of aluminum foil, ensuring they are large enough to wrap each potato packet.
- Place half of a potato on each of 6 foil squares.
- Next, layer a slice of onion on top of each potato half.
- Add a tablespoon of butter or margarine on top of the onion slice.
- Sprinkle each potato generously with salt, pepper, and seasoning salt.
- Finally, top each potato with the remaining half, creating what resembles a “potato sandwich.”
-
Wrap and Seal:
- Wrap each potato packet tightly with the foil, ensuring they are fully enclosed.
- For added security, rewrap each packet with an additional square of foil to seal in the flavors.
-
Grill Potatoes:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the coals are evenly distributed.
- Place the foil-wrapped potato packets directly onto the coals.
- Grill the potatoes for 30-45 minutes, turning them occasionally to prevent burning.
- The potatoes are done when they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. You can also test for “done-ness” by gently squeezing the packets, but use caution as they will be hot!
-
Serve:
- Once the potatoes are cooked to perfection, carefully remove them from the grill.
- Allow the packets to cool for a few minutes before unwrapping them.
- To serve, unwrap the outer layer of foil, revealing the delicious aroma of perfectly grilled potatoes.
- Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley or herbs if desired.
-
Enjoy!
- These grilled potatoes are best served hot alongside your favorite grilled meats or as a standalone side dish.
- Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or enjoying a cozy meal at home, these flavorful potatoes are sure to be a hit with family and friends.
