Easy and quick to make. I can vary the receipt depending which vegetable I have handy and just add it to the potatoes.
made these 4th of July on the grill…came out amazing…I did add a little cheese to them because I’m a cheese girl. ..great recipe
I added some sweet and also some smoked paprika, just a little dusting. They came out perfect some the best potatoes I ever had
This was good, but I had to cook it much much longer to get those yummy browned potato bits. I parboiled in the microwave for 20 minutes, and bbq’d for 50 minutes. After the first 35 minutes we took what we needed for dinner, and then put the pack back on the bbq for another 15 minutes and the second helping was perfect!
this was great! will make again
We are bigger fans of dill or other herbs with potatoes than basil, so I substituted fresh dill. We cooked these in a disposable aluminum pan, turning occasionally. Golden brown, some parts crispy, all delicious. I served this with “BBQ Beer Brat Kabobs,” also from this site, and a tossed green salad. It was a fantastic meal.
Excellent. Don’t second guess the recipe… it is right on. : )
A good side dish with a light flavor that paired well with my marinated chicken.
So easy and so delicious! This one is a keeper!
Not much flavor. Followed the directions exactly 🙁
This recipe was great! I added my favorite dry spices from my spice rack, including cayenne pepper, lemon pepper, rosemary, and cilantro, used red onions, and they came out SOOOO delicious! I put in bowl with olive oil and mixed, didn’t use any butter. I was out of any fresh herbs, so will try that next time. I’m still learning the grilling ‘technique’, but was able to tell doneness by sticking with a fork. LOVE this recipe, will use a lot, mixing it up with spices.
I a similar recipe all the time, but the fresh basil is a great add. To keep the foil packets moist, it helps to add an ice cube to each packet while it cooks (can help to scale back the butter).
I tried it with a red onion and added a couple tablespoons of olive oil. Then I made sure to stir everything together before layering it on the foil. The red onion added some color and turned out really well. The olive oil added just the right amount of moisture and held everything together. Excellent recipe!
This recipe was great, as is! I ended up using 3 regular Idaho potatoes, half of a large onion, dried basil and pre-crushed garlic, layering the ingredients with the butter, salt and pepper, 30 minutes on the grill but I flipped it over half way through and the potatoes were delish! Between my husband, son and me, there weren’t any leftover!
i made delicious dish as directed with the lone exception of coating the aluminum foil with an olive oil spray. i specificly made a “leftover pouch” which was kept unopened until the next night. fresh basil is a must for the yummy taste & eye appeal. many thanks pricilla!
These are a great grill side dish. I made them several times this summer when grilling with friends. I omitted the butter and sprayed the potatoes with a little olive oil. The fresh garlic and basil are a must! Be sure to use several layers of aluminum foil and spray it the inside layer with oil to prevent sticking.
These are good, with a light flavor. Next time I might try adding other spices/ingredients to give them more of a kick. Thanks!
Really good! I would recommend spraying the foil liberally with cooking spray so the potatoes don’t stick.
I make these all the time and they are always a hit. I like to use paprika, and sometimes sub olive oil for the butter. Sliced green peppers is also a nice addition. Good eats, thanks Priscilla.
Good recipe to use any seasonings you have on hand. I keep disposable foil pans of all sizes, sprayed the pan with nonstick spray, then sliced the potatoes and onion into it. Covered with foil and used indirect heat while our chicken cooked. Opened the foil one time to stir and check, and the results were tasty potatoes with seasonings. The disposable pan was nicer to serve from and I did not have the mess of opening foil packages. Thanks for the recipe!
Really tasty and really easy!
