Arizona Hobo Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Grills vary widely, so you may need to experiment with the heat setting. For my propane grill, I use medium-high heat, or even high heat, high enough to sear/brown the meat dish when I throw them on the grill.).
• Wash potatoes and cut into slices 1/4 inch or so with skin intact.
• Slice onion into thin slices, then separate into rings.
• On heavy duty aluminum foil, about 18" to 24" long, put in the center a layer of potatoes (leaving plenty of foil on each side and each end to fold and seal the packet).
• Follow with a layer of onion rings.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a hint of garlic (powder, or freshly minced).
• Repeat layers, dotting each second layer with butter.
• Wrap the foil securely around the layers. Should make a packet about 15"-18" long and 10" wide.
• Put the foil package on the grill about 45 minutes to an hour before the intended serving time. (These can also be prepared as described, but placing the packet in a stainless steel skillet on the stove top. Or in the oven. Be creative!).
• It's okay if the bottom layer "caramelizes;" some will love those bottom pieces!

Steps:

• Prepare charcoal fire for grilling.
• In 3-quart microwave-safe casserole dish, combine potatoes, onions, carrots, celery and water.
• Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap.
• Microwave on HIGH for 5 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are hot and just begin to cook, stirring once during cooking. Drain.
• Stir in salt and pepper.
• Place potato mixture on 18x18-inch square of heavy-duty foil.
• Top with bacon and dot with margarine.
• Wrap securely with double fold seal.
• Immediately place on grill 4 to 6 inches from medium-high coals.
• Cook 25 to 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Steps:

• 1. Fold a 36 x 18-inch piece of heavy foil in half to make a 18-inch square. Lightly coat one side of the square with nonstick cooking spray. On coated surface, arrange half of the bacon in the center of the foil. Top with half of the potatoes, half of the sweet pepper, half of the onion , and half of the cheese. Top with remaining potatoes, remaining sweet pepper and remaining onion. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and black pepper. Top with remaining cheese and remaining bacon.
• 2. Lightly coat one side of another 18-inch square piece of double thickness heavy foil with the non-stick cooking spray; place it, coated side down , on top of potato stack. Seal all edges with a double fold, leaving space for steam to build. Grill vegetable packet on the grill rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender, turning the packet once.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, mix together the sour cream, soup, cheese and onions.
• 2. Add the potatoes and mix well.
• 3. Place in a 9 x 13 inch pan and refrigerate overnight.
• 4. Before baking, combine the corn flakes and melted butter. Spread over the top of the potatoes.
• 5. Bake in a 350 degree oven for approximately 1 hour.

Steps:

• After washing potatoes slice with skin on.
• Lay potato slices into a good size piece of aluminum foil.
• Slice onion and put on top of potatoes.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Slice up pats of butter on top of potatoes and onions.
• Seal up aluminum foil around potatoes and onion to make a closed package.
• Put on grill over indirect heat and cook for 1 hour.
• Ten minutes before serving open packet and place sliced cheese on top of potatoes and onion.
• Reseal and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
• Open packet and enjoy!

Steps:

• Divide potatoes between 2 large sheets of foil, then lift edges of foil around potatoes to form a nest so the oil won't leak. Divide garlic, rosemary, and oil between packages, then sprinkle each with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Bring edges of foil together to enclose each package, covering completely, then crimp to seal packages closed.
• Prepare a grill for medium, indirect heat, preferably with hardwood or hardwood charcoal. Place foil packages near the coals and cook, moving packages around the coals occasionally for even cooking, until potatoes are tender, 30-45 minutes.
• Do Ahead
• Packets can cooked and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
