This is a family favorite for sure. We typically have yellow onion on hand so that is what we use. Sometimes, we just grill onions in foil all my their lonesome and sometimes we add other veggies in too. YUM!

Great way to add potatoes to a grilled meal without using the stove or oven. You can make all kinds of changes to the seasoning, just don't add TOO much butter/oil, and don't make the packets too thick or too thin. The sliced onions smell fantastic as the packet cooks, as good as whatever protien you're grilling.

Such a good basic recipe that can be adjusted to personal tastes! I used cooking spray, butter for flavor, and tossed the ingredients in olive oil for extra no stick power. Garlic is very good in it. The potatoes were kinda bland but good with ketchup. Next time I'll add a little extra salt.

These are a great side dish for steak. I spray my foil packet with Pam so nothing sticks and partially microwave the potatoes to cut down on the cooking time. I never really measure anything - a little melted butter and a little olive oil plus a mixture of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. You can't go wrong with these......

Too much pepper- too spicy, even for me. I will cut it down to 1/2 t. next time I make it, and I will be making it again. This recipe would have gotten 5 stars if it weren't for the pepper measurement.

I'd use less pepper when cooking for kids. They wouldn't eat it because they said it was too spicy.

Amazing! This recipe is exactly like the way my mom used to fix them so that Dad could throw them on the grill with whatever meat we were having. Very easy, but so simple and delicious! The grill just does something to the potatoes, almost sweetens them I think, and makes them incredible! I made them for dinner tonight with our chicken and my gang all loved them!

I've made this twice this week - once with just regular potatoes and white onion and once adding fresh baby green beans to the mix. I tossed the veggies with the olive oil and salt/pepper before placing it on the greased foil. It has turned out perfectly both times, and considering my grilling talents, it must be universally fool proof.

This is one of my favorite grill recipes. Be sure to use red onion, and make the thickness of potato and onion slices as uniform as possible. The tasty results of this quick and easy recipe never cease to amaze me. Enjoy!

These were wonderful and easy! The only reason for the 4 stars was due cooking time being pretty long.. Perhaps I cut my potatoes alittle thick, who knows.. But I will definitely try these again!

So easy and tasty. Just like a baked potato off the grill! I will experiment with seasoning next time.

This is a delicious, easy to prepare side dish. I made some minor changes: added several cloves of minced garlic, subsituted extra virgin olive oil for butter, added chopped thyme and left out the salt. I also added a sweet potato since it was in the fridge and needed to be used. I mixed all the ingredients in a dish to make sure the potatoes were well coated with oil and seasoning. It would probably taste really good with minced fresh rosemary. I opted for the thyme because my 1 year old prefers the taste.Yummy! I made enough for leftovers and am eating it now.

Made this tonight and it was really tasty. I added some fresh garlic because we love it and it was great. I did have some problems with the potatoes sticking to the tin foil though. Maybe next time I'll try to coat it with something.

I just made this recipe, and it was really, really good! Even better than when my mom used to make 'em (under the monicker "Hobo Potatoes")! I did prepare a couple things differently though... First, I used red potatoes and white onions, as that's all we had available. The biggest thing I changed was that I didn't use butter; rather, I used olive oil, and only used enough to lightly coat everything. The other thing was in addition to salt and pepper, I added all-purpose dill seasoning, which tasted amazing! This is a great recipe, very easy to prepare, and cook time is dead-on.

I just found this recipe and wanted to comment that this is a great way to eat taters. Its even better with a slice of uncooked bacon wrapped around the tater.
