Hobo Potatoes Recipes

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:

• 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

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix potatoes, oranges, orange peel, red onions, oregano, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk mustard, vinegar and garlic, then add olive oil in a thin stream, whisking until emulsified. Pour dressing over potato and orange mixture, and toss gently to combine.
• Tear off 6 12-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and stack in two piles (three sheets each). Pour half the potato mixture into center of each top sheet of foil. Shape ingredients on each sheet into a pile 6 inches by 6 inches, and pour any dressing left in the bowl over the piles. Wrap ingredients in each pile in the top sheet of aluminum foil, sealing it tightly, followed by the second and third sheets.
• Prepare a fire in the grill. When flames have subsided and coals are glowing, carefully remove grill grate, and set hobo packs directly on coals. With tongs, gather a few hot coals around hobo packs. Replace grill grate, and let cook 25 minutes. Remove grill grate, and with kitchen mitt or spatula, remove hobo packs from grill. Cut a vent through top of each pack, and serve.
