I grill cook year round. Want to make a side dish on the grill everyone will love? They are called Hobo packs.
My family calls them Dad's grill Potatoes.
You need: heavy duty foil, onion powder, garlic powder,salt, pepper,1 stick margarine, 2 pounds potatoes and 1/2 pound baby carrots. Peel the potatoes, slice 1/8 inch thick, lay a 16 inch section of foil on counter, put potatoes in the middle, dump the carrots on pile, heavily sprinkle the onion and garlic powder on pile, then salt and pepper. Slice the margarine in half inch sections over pile. Use foil to make a channel so margarine will not leak out down ward. Then wrap the pack a few times with more foil. Make tight wrap. Put on the grill on high. Cook 40 minutes. I roll the pack every 10 minutes across the grill to get the margarine and spices on all the stuff. Keep it on grill for 40 minutes, then start grilling your meat, steak, chicken etc. When meat is done so are the potatoes. My Family just destroys these Hobo packs!
You can use Red Skin potatoes cut in chunks, or Yukon Golds, whole carrots cut in chunks. I have made 4 pounds of potatoes and 1 pound of carrots and they still destroyed them! They have NEVER hit the fridge.
