Ingredients

  • pounds Small Honey Gold Potatoes cut in half or quarters depending on their size
  • 2 tablespoons Canola Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Dry Minced Onion dehydrated minced onion
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper or to taste
  • Pinch of Black Pepper or to taste

Instructions

You will also need: Heavy duty aluminum foil and Grill spray

    Prep Work

    • Cut the potatoes in half or quarters, depending on their size. They should all be roughly the same size so they cook at the same rate.
    • Add the salt, dried minced onion, garlic powder, oregano, crushed red pepper and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir the seasoning mix to combine.
    • Add the cut potatoes and canola oil to a large bowl and toss well to coat.
    • Sprinkle the potatoes with the prepared seasoning mix and toss them again until they’re coated in the seasoning.

    Make the foil pack for the potatoes

    • Cut a piece of foil approximately 24 inches long. Place the foil, dull side up, on a flat surface horizontally.
    • Cut another piece of foil, approximately 20 inches long and place it (dull side up) vertically over the other piece.
    • Add the potatoes in the middle of the foil, along with any oil and seasoning left in the bowl.
    • Fold in the vertical piece to cover the potatoes.
    • Then bring up the horizontal piece, join at the top and crimp to seal.
    • Finally, tuck in the sides to finish the foil pack.

    Grill the potatoes

    • Preheat the grill on moderate to moderate-low heat. Use grill spray to minimize sticking.
    • Grill the potatoes over moderate to moderate-low heat for 40-45 minutes.
    • Give the foil packet a gentle shake every once in a while. Use tongs to grab the top of the foil pack and gently slide it back and forth a couple of times.
    • When the potatoes are ready, carefully open the foil packet. There will be a lot of steam accumulated in there so take care when opening.
    • Insert the tip of a sharp knife into one of the larger potato pieces. If the knife slides in without any resistance, they’re done. If they’re not done, close the packet again and continue grilling.
