Crispy Grilled Potatoes in Foil (Only 3 Ingredients)
Description
Crispy Grilled Potatoes in Foil combines a minimal ingredient list with grilling to create tender yet crisp potatoes. Using baby potatoes sliced in half increases the surface area for browning while inside the foil packet traps moisture to cook the potatoes through. The use of neutral cooking oil and salt seasoning highlights the natural potato flavor without overpowering. As the foil pouch is turned, the potatoes crisp up on each side, giving a balance of soft interior and lightly crispy edges typical for grilled potatoes. This technique also prevents sticking and eases cleanup.
This recipe suits any grilled meal where a straightforward potato side is desired. Because it cooks in foil, it’s handy for camping or backyard barbeques. Serving soon after the final grill time preserves the crisp texture; reheating may soften the crispness. The simple seasoning allows pairing with diverse main dishes, from grilled meats to vegetables.
Ingredients
- 2 lb baby potato
- 3 tbsp neutral cooking oil avocado or olive oil, generic cooking oil
- 1 tbsp salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Wash the baby potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Slice the potatoes into halves and season them with salt and oil. Toss until evenly coated.
- Cut a large piece of foil and place the potatoes on top of it in a single layer. Cover with another similar sized piece of foil and cinch the edges to create a pocket.
- Preheat the grill to 400°F. Place the potatoes on the grill and cook them for 15 minutes.
- Open up the foil and flip the potatoes so they brown on the other side. Grill for 10 more minutes or until potatoes are crispy and fully cooked.
- Serve right away and enjoy!
