Barbequed Potato And Garlic Scape Packets Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Cut 6 18-inch pieces of aluminum foil and set aside.
• Combine the potatoes and scapes in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture among the pieces of aluminum foil and fold the edges of the foil over the potato mixture to seal the packets.
• Place the packets onto the preheated grill and close the lid. Cook until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Rotate the packets halfway through cooking.

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with water. Add enough salt so that the water tastes like the ocean, about 2 tablespoons. Cover, and bring to a boil.
• Remove from heat. Add garlic scapes. Let sit 10 minutes; the potatoes should be tender when pierced with a knife. Drain, and separate potatoes from scapes. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half.
• Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add potatoes, in batches if necessary, cut sides down, and cook until they begin to brown, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, and add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook until potatoes are golden and crisp, stirring occasionally, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Add garlic scapes and 1 tablespoon butter to pan; raise heat to make potatoes extra crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
