POTATO AND ONION PACKETS

SERVES 4

Delicious and easy. You may use any type of potato you like. The potatoes may be peeled or not. This can be made on the grill or in the oven. See the variations below.

INGREDIENTS

Heat grill. Prepare packets by first cutting individual pieces of foil large enough to hold one-fourth of all ingredients. Spray the shiny sides with cooking spray. Place one-fourth potatoes and onions onto center of each piece of foil (on the sprayed side) and mix slightly to combine. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide the butter equally and place on top of each packet. Sprinkle each with about 1 teaspoon of water. Close packets and seal tightly. Place on grill. If you have a gas grill, reduce the heat and cover with grill lid. If the heat on your grill can not be reduced, or if you are grilliing another item that should not be covered with the grill lid, place the packets on a higher level grate. Bake until tender and browned, about 30 minutes, depending on size of wedges and type of grill.

Variations: An alternate cooking method is to place all of the ingredients in a baking pan; cover tightly with foil and bake at 400° F in a preheated oven for about 40 minutes. The temperature can be reduced or increased if you are making an entree that must be baked or roasted at a different temperature; just allow more or less time. Green pepper slices, mushrooms, garlic or herbs may be added. Olive oil may be substituted for the butter.
