Potato recipes for the grill?

[BLACKJACK]

I like potatoes on the grill but I'm wearing my wife out. Do any of you have any good potato recipes for the grill? Especially ones with cheese - she loves cheese (yes, shes from Wisconsin!!!).

My two main ways of cooking them on the grill are 1) slices in in foil with onions 2) sliced, sprinkled with Lauwry, and right on the grate. Put a little ketchup on a plate, good hors d’oeuvres!

Any more good recipes?

Here is something I do when feeding the boys in hunt camp:

3/4 can sliced white potatoes per man - the little irish ones.
1 medium yellow onion chopped
butter
Bongaards cheese
salt and pepper to taste.

Put drained potatoes in a large foil pouch and add butter - about 1 tablespoon per can. Add chopped onion. Top with about 2 slices of cheese per can of potatoes and season to taste. Seal the foil and put on the grill, turning every once in awhile till hot and the cheese has turned into a sauce - about 1/2 hour.

It's an easy way for us to add spuds to whatever game we might be cooking that night without having a lot of cleanup. And the boys love it. I usually use the Bongaards just because we have a lot of it on hand for making a quick sandwich to take to the blind, but I don't see why you couldn't use cheddar or whatever - maybe some pepper jack to kick it up.

We've actually made a meal of this before by adding some canned mushrooms and diced up chunks of duck (camp meat) that we had marinated in a terryaki sauce. Fed everybody in the campgrounds with it and they all liked it. Weird.

Put the white canned potatoes in a ziploc and marinade with spices of your choice (Lawrys would be fine--rosemary, garlic, pepper, etc.) and some melted butter and a little olive oil for a half hour. Skewer on wooden skewers (use two, so they don't spin) and grill until golden brown. Soak teh skewers ahead of time in water so they don't burn. Sprinkle with parm cheese if you want at the end.

Cut the potatoes (sliced onions optional) into wedges and place on double folded foil. Add some butter and sprinkle with french onion soup (to taste). Wrap up the foil tight and place on the rack away from the coals and cover the grill. Turn them once in awhile. They are awsome!

In tinfoil put your cut spuds in with red pepper, onion and what ever veggies you like. I put in mushrooms, zucchini (sp)and carrots with garlic and oil in mine. Cook on grill for about 40 min.
Another good one is to slice a bigger spud into about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch slices and boil. Just boil for about 2 minutes at the longest!! They should still be a little hard. Place these slices right on the grill and brush with butter and garlic and what ever spices you want. Keep turnning and brushing every 4 to 5 minutes. The spud should get a little glaze to it. Cook as dark as you want and enjoy!! Just something I made up. Yes, you can even put cheese on it at the end, it's something my wife would love!

IN TIN FOIL PUT DOWN 3-4 STRIPS OF BACON. SLICE POTATOES PILE ON TOP OF BACON ADD CHOPPED ONIONS, GARLIC SALT, AND TOP WITH SHREDDED CHEESE. DOUBLE FOLD FOIL AT TOP AND ENDS SO THAT IT DOES NOT LEAK. IF YOU HAVE THERMOMETER ON YOUR GRILL COOK AT 300 DEGREES FOR 30-35 MIN. WHEN DONE SCRAP FROM FOIL INTO BOWL AND STIR IN THE BACON.
BEST POTATOES EVER.

Try a few shakes of Italian dressing on your veggie mix before you put it on the grill.

Bart Simpson made one of the first replys in this post and mentioned "Bongaards." What type of cheese is this and is there a substitute? I live in Iowa and I've tried wal-mart and the local grocery stores with no luck. Even if someone would make a comparison on flavor I think I could narrow my search. Anybody?? thanks in advance.

Hi Abens,

Yeah actually bongards is a sliced american (non wrapped) cheese that is very similar to other brands (crystal farms, craft, etc.). I think if you get a good quality american cheese and slice it fairly thin you will have good results. I would have to agree that bongards does make the best sliced american though.

I hope this helps.
