But, but with the grill going there's a better way... a much better
*tastier* way... scrub potatoes and with skin on make about 3/16"
slices, deal like playing cards onto a sheet of heavy foil, with a
slice of onion, a sprig of parsley, s n' p, and a blob of butter...
wrap tightly into a packet and slap on the grill. You can fit two
baking sized spuds into each packet... be more creative with seasoning
if you like; add a few slivers of garlic a bell pepper ring, oregano,
hot pepper flakes, even grated cheese.... you don't want butter use
olive oil. Grill on medium heat about ten minutes each side before
starting your meat. Just before taking off the grill cut a few slits
in the foil to release the moisture. This was my favorite part of my
many cross country road trip dinners, cooked on my trusty $2 Cheap
Johns grill. What you put into the spud packet is only limited by
ones imagination... 'shrooms are very good too. And for the more
adventurous toss in a can of anchovies or kippers.
