How to make grilled potato foil packets
The gist: Season Yukon Gold potatoes with spices, top with blue cheese, seal in foil packets, grill, and finish with buffalo sauce and cilantro for a delicious BBQ side.
1. Preheat Grill
Set up your grill for indirect heat, with one side on medium-high (about 450°F) and the other side without direct flame.
2. Prepare Potato Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the Yukon Gold potatoes, diced shallots, smoked paprika, garlic salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
Mix well to evenly coat the potatoes.
3. Assemble Foil Packets
- Tear off 4 large sheets of tin foil, each about 15 inches wide.
- Place ¼ of the potato mixture in the center of each sheet.
- Top each portion with 2 tablespoons of blue cheese crumbles.
- Fold and seal the foil packets, making sure they are completely closed on the top and sides, leaving a bit of extra room (about 2 inches) at the top for steam to circulate.
4. Grill Potatoes
- Place the foil packets on the indirect heat side of the grill (the side without direct flame).
- Close the grill lid and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the foil packets puff up slightly from the steam and the potatoes are fork-tender.
5. Finish and Serve
- Carefully open each foil packet (watch out for hot steam).
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of buffalo sauce over the potatoes in each packet.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
- Enjoy your flavorful grilled potato foil packets with a spicy buffalo kick!
