20 min

4 servings

I’ve never met a spud I didn’t like, and today is certainly no exception. Choose your own potato adventure with gingery, garlicky Teppanyaki, or creamy and tangy Hollandaise. These potato packets are the perfect side dish for backyard barbeques, camping trips, and summer celebrations.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, about 1 lb (450 g)
  • 4 tsp olive oil or melted, unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp Montreal Steak Rub or Burger Seasoning
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • 4 tsp water
  • 1⁄2 cup prepared Teppanyaki Sauce or Hollandaise Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Teppanyaki Sauce Mix
  • 1⁄3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 pkg Hollandaise Sauce Mix
  • 1 cup water

Preparation

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Cut potatoes into 1⁄8" slices and place in a large bowl. Add oil, rub, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Lay out four 12" pieces of aluminum foil in front of you. Divide potato slices between the four pieces of foil. (It’s okay if the potatoes overlap slightly.) Add 1 tsp water on top of each potato-lined piece of foil.
  • Place a 6" piece of aluminum foil over each potato-lined piece of foil. Roll up edges of bottom of each piece of potato-lined foil and fold over the top of each 6" piece of foil to seal in the potatoes and form a packet.
  • Place packets on grill. Grill, with lid closed, 15 min, or until tender. Using tongs, carefully remove packets from grill.
  • Open packets carefully; serve with sauce drizzled on top. Add additional toppings, if desired.
