Ingredients
1 18”x18” piece heavy duty aluminum foil pieces sprayed with nonstick spray
2 Idaho potatoes, washed and sliced ¼” thick
1 medium red onion, peeled, cut in half, and sliced thinly
-
1 Tbsp dried garlic slices
-
2 Tbsp Breeze blend
-
2 Tbsp olive oil
-
2 tsp fine sea salt
½ lemon, cut thin slices with seeds removed and cut into ¼’s
1 Tbsp parsley, roughly chopped
-
Salt to taste
-
Pepper to taste
Directions
Heat your grill to med-high heat.
In a large bowl, mix the potato slices, onion slices, dried garlic, Breeze, olive oil, salt, and lemon ¼’s to combine well.
Arrange the potato mixture onto half of one of the prepared pieces of foil.
Spread the layers of potatoes so they are no more than 2 potatoes deep to help them cook more evenly.
Close the sides and bottom of the foil packet by folding it over just once so that it’s easy to open later to check the potatoes.
Place the packet on the grill and cook, flipping halfway, for 20-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Keep the packet on a medium heat area of the grill so the vegetables do not burn before they are cooked through. The lid of your grill will also be useful to keep heat all around the packet.
When the vegetables are tender, remove the whole packet to a tray.
Open the packet and finish the potatoes with fresh parsley and add salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Usage Ideas
