Grilled New Potato Packet

This grilled new potato packet is the perfect side to make on the grill. Like any packet dish, you just toss a few ingredients onto a piece of thick foil, seal it, and toss it on the grill (I used my Weber) until done. The potatoes in this packet come out very tasty thanks to sun-dried tomato dressing.

Grilled New Potato Packet

I think any vinaigrette-like dressing would be just fine for a grilled new potato packet. I wouldn’t use a creamy dressing, though. The packets get mighty hot as the potatoes cook. You want something that’ll hold up to that heat, flavoring the potatoes as they go. You definitely wouldn’t want to use something that would separate or burn.

If you love these as much I do you’ll also want to try my grilled scalloped potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds red new potatoes use potatoes that are all about the same size, quartered or halved depending on size
  • 2 pounds white new potatoes use potatoes that are all about the same size, quartered or halved depending on size
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons sun dried tomato vinaigrette
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese freshly grated

  • Tear off a large piece of foil.
  • Place potatoes in the middle of the foil. Drizzle with the water and oil and add garlic if using.

Grilled Kielbasa Dinner Packets

Usually, a quick grilled dinner at our house consists of some burgers or dogs, with a side and a salad. But sometimes, I like to throw together a just-as-easy meal-in-a-packet, like these grilled kielbasa dinner packets. Everything’s in there. Just assemble (you can put them together the night before) and toss onto a grill (I used my Weber grill) over medium heat until the vegetables are tender. Adding rosemary really takes this from a rather mundane dish to something a little more special. Next time, though, I’m adding chopped bell pepper or poblano for a little crunch.

Lumberjack Breakfast Packets

I’m a big fan of anything in a packet, from breakfast to dinner and anything in-between. These Lumberjack breakfast packets are further proof that a meal-in-a-packet can be absolutely fantastic. From sausage links to potatoes, eggs and cheese, each bite gives you a full breakfast taste. Anything and everything would be good in these. Substitute ground pork sauce for the links. Or even ham. Add jalapenos for some kick, or just serve them with hot sauce on the side. Anything goes (and is good) in these packets.

Lumberjack Breakfast Packets

You can make these packets ahead of time. They’re perfect for a camp-out, or an early morning grill at a local park. For a meal-time packet try my grilled Kielbasa dinner packets.

Grilled Sausage with Potatoes and Green Beans

I’m a big fan of grilled packet dishes. Anything from simple sides to entire meals can be made quite easily in an aluminum foil packet. They don’t always look fru-fru, but they always taste great, like this grilled sausage with potatoes and green beans.

Grilled Sausage with Potatoes and Green Beans

This meal-in-a-packet idea really has great flavor. The sausage, beans, potatoes and onion all steam and cook up together, creating a nice broth.

I sprinkled this with smoked black pepper for a little added flavor. The pepper is not crunchy or overwhelmingly strong, it just adds a nice little smoky taste as it cooks down inside the steamy packet.

Grilled Scallion Sweet Potatoes

You could always make these fantastic sweet potatoes in the oven, but if you have it full of food (such as a Thanksgiving turkey), just toss them on the grill like these grilled scallion sweet potatoes. I often cook sides on the grill, specially if I’m cooking them at a family get-together (you never know if there will be room in the oven when you get there!).

Grilled Scallion Sweet Potatoes

These grilled scallion sweet potatoes are tasty and sweet, with a nice hit from the green onions. We really liked them. Sweet potatoes are an often-overlooked side dish. They shouldn’t be, they’re fantastic!
