If you are bbq'ing, try this side dish

[Shotan]

This is a great side dish to make while barbequing. I do it alot.

Slice potatoes, one and a half potatoes per person ( or just one per if they are big).

Lay out 2 layers of tin foil, cover the inner layer of one with butter leaving a 1 inch border butter-free around the edge.

Lay in potato slices in layers, salt and pepper and paprika on each layer as you build.

Put a few good nobs of butter on top. If you like, some sliced onions really add to the taste.

Then lay one peice of bacon along the top.

Close tin foil over the potatoes. The goal is to get it as air tight as possible. Double fold all the seems, etc... The idea is you end up with a pillow of tinfoil stuffed with potatoes, butter, bacon and spices.

BBQ this along with your meat, you may have to start this ahead of your meat. You need high heat, 10 minutes a side. No matter what, don't chicken out and flip it too soon, give it the full ten minutes.

If you managed a nice, air tight set of seems, the package will actually puff up as you cook, but if it doesn't, don't worry about it. It will still work nicely.

I first started doing this while camping, but the potatoes with onions and bacon are just so flavorful that I do it all the time now.

There are a million variations to this method, using all sorts of vegetables.

Sounds tasty.

My missus has something similar to the idea, but not the same ingredients. :)

Use the tinfoil the same way, but dice up some sweet potatoes, carrots, and reg. potatoes. Mince up some garlic and red onion too. Now take a 1/4 cup of your favorite italian dressing and pour it over. Close up the bag as airtight as possible and grill.

Like Shotan said, it will puff up, and grill times will vary by how much you stuffed into it, how thick the cubes of veggies are.

It's delicious, even our 10 and 12 year olds love it!

I make something simlar to this too.

I use mini potatoes so I do not have to bother cutting them up, just wash them.

Add in sliced bell peppers, celery, carrots, onion and mushrooms.

Add in butter and your choice of seasonings, I usually use a pepper medly.

Then cook it on the barbque.
