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 until done. The potatoes in this packet come out very tasty thanks to sun-dried tomato dressing. In fact, I think any vinaigrette-like dressing would be just fine.

  • 2 pounds red new potatoes use potatoes that are all about the same size, quartered or halved depending on size

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 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.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill for 350 degree cooking (I used a charcoal grill and cooked indirectly, not directly over the hot coals)

  • Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
