Here’s how I make my potato grill packs. They’re really fabulous with fresh from the garden vegetables. My potatoes and carrots aren’t ready yet, but I used onions straight from my garden.

What you’ll need:

• 4-6 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
• About 1 cup of carrots chopped
• About 1/2 cup chopped onion
• Basil
• Oregano
• Garlic
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I used Gaea since they just sent me a fabulous bottle of D.O.P Kalamata)
• Aluminum foil
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. I start by drizzling some extra virgin olive oil on some aluminum foil, then I add the potatoes, carrots, and onions.
2. Then I sprinkle everything with basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top and wrap it all up in the foil.
4. Place your potato pack on the grill on medium heat for about 30 minutes, then check to see if all the vegetables are tender.

You can also use mushrooms, a little celery, or cauliflower in your potato packs. It usually depends on what I have in the fridge, or growing in my garden.

The vegetables are great warmed up the next day for a quick lunch.

Easy Summer Meals~ Grilled Potato Packs

Start with 6 clean, good-sized potatoes.  Put them in a pot of cold water, add 1 tablespoon of salt, then set to boil for 10 minutes. Remove the potatoes, let cool, then slice into strips, and drizzle with oil (I prefer olive).

Set your grill to high.  Sprinkle the pre-cooked potatoes with Bobby’s version of Old Bay seasoning (see recipe below), then grill for 3 to 5 minutes. 

That’s it. Yum!
