What to serve with foil packet grilled potatoes
Lots of delicious foods can be made on the grill in the summer! These summer packet grilled potatoes go well with;

How to make foil packet potatoes
- Cut piece of aluminum foil larger than you think you need, so that you seal the potatoes tightly.
- Arrange potatoes in center of foil.
- Add fresh or dried herbs, pesto, roasted garlic, butter or olive oil to packet.
- Wrap tightly. Add another piece of foil, if neccessary to get a tight seal.
- Grill or bake at 450°F in oven until tender and potatoes can be easily pierced with fork. About 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
Serve these Foil Packet Grilled Potatoes with grilled asparagus, corn or summer squash with your favorite protein and you have a zero cleanup meal! What could be better than that?
