Description

This simple recipe for Buttery Grilled Yukon Gold Potatoes In Foil transforms sliced potatoes, onions, and bell peppers into a flavorful side dish perfect for any BBQ or weeknight meal! Just wrap the ingredients in foil, let them cook on the grill, and enjoy the char-grilled taste of tender potatoes with crispy edges.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 (2 ½ feet) sheets of foil 
  • 3 pounds large Yukon gold potatoes, sliced ¼ inch thick
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 ½  teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, diced into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with the foil strips. Place the first sheet across the length of the sheet pan in the center. Add the second sheet across the length on the top half of the sheet pan, and the third sheet across the length on the bottom half of the sheet pan. There should be lots of overhang in order to eventually wrap the potatoes in the foil. Add the fourth sheet of foil along the width/left side of the sheet pan (perpendicular to the other sheets), and the fifth sheet along the width/right side of the sheet pan (also perpendicular to the other sheets). See photos below or above in the post. 
  2. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Spray the foil with cooking spray. Layer the potatoes in rows on the sheet pan, the potatoes can be overlapping. Scatter the sliced onion and bell pepper on top of the potatoes. Sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Scatter the cubed butter all over the potatoes. 
  3. Wrap the potatoes tightly in the foil until you have a nice sealed packet. Place potato packet on the grill, cover and cook for 25 minutes. Flip the potatoes and cook for another 20-25 minutes until potatoes are tender and starting to brown. Cooking for closer to 25 minutes will give the potatoes those crispy edges.
