Grilled Potatoes

Here's how I 'grill' potatos. I like red potatos or yukon gold or Purple potatos for this.
Tear off a large enough sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil to hold your potatos.

Four medium to small potatos scubbed and thinly sliced (leave on the skin if you like).
Parmesan cheese OR rosemary (dried or fresh)
salt/pepper
olive oil

Basically you will layer the potato slices in the center of the aluminum foil. Between each layer put parm cheese OR rosemary and then salt/pepper and a splash of olive oil. When you run out of potatos finish up with cheese or rosemary, salt, and olive oil. Seal up the aluminum foil so it forms a packet.
Put the packet on the grill and in about 45 minutes you'll have yummy potatos. If you like the "crunchy bits" that form when it gets really brown leave it on the grill longer.
You can do this with any amount of potatos - just make a bigger packet and extend the cook time. A thinner layer of potatos will brown up quicker than a big pile.
In a separate packet - you could clean a sweet onion - cut off the top and bottom make a couple of diagonal cuts almost all the way thru it. Tuck a few pieces of butter (or garlic) into the cuts, salt and pepper it. place on a square of aluminum foil and bring up all the edges and seal it. Place on the grill for 30 - 40 minutes. mmm mmm good!

I like to do packets similar to ATSiaRU's above, but mix it up some, by either adding different stuff or changing the seasonings, but the basics stay the same (tin foil pouch, sprayed, flipped, etc...)

Different stuff to add:
butter instead of olive oil
Thick sliced zucchini
mushrooms
onions

Different seasonings:
Lemon Pepper Seasoning Salt
Italian Seasoning and salt or seasoning salt
different herb blends

I love grilled potatoes. I make these frequently during the summer on my grill at my shore place.
I use Idaho or baking potatoes. I cut in 1/4" slices length wise.
Lightly coat with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Place on a hot grill(400) for about 6-7 minutes on one side, or until browned with grill marks, then turn and grill for another 5 or so minutes.

"BF loves potatoes." <-----this was a quote in J's original post

Make grilled potatoes. Slice them like potato chips (about 1/8 inch thick is best) -- a mandolin comes in handy if you have one. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Grill them until they're just starting to char a little, flip and repeat for the other side.
For dipping sauce, mix 1/3 c sour cream, 1 tbsp tomato paste, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, juice of 1/2 a lemon (about 3/4 tbsp juice), a couple of splashes of worcestershire sauce, a couple splashes of hot sauce, salt and pepper (to taste).
