The fantastic weather has continued in the North East this March. Today is my dear departed Dad’s birthday, a picture perfect Tuesday, and the first day of Spring (1:14 AM EDST)!
I am happy to say I hit Hatch Pond in the Whaler at the crack of ten myself. The day inspired me to post this simple recipe to cook potato, onion, and if you like peppers, that tastes pretty good on the grill on a day like today. But as we have said before, almost anything cooked on the grill on an early day of warm weather would taste good.
I use a white potato but Idaho, Yukon, whatever you like will work. Look for potatoes at 5 LB for under $3. Peel potatoes and thinly slice them to about 1/8 inch thick. Onion should be medium thick slices and peppers should be 2 inch by ½ inch or so if you add them.
Ingredients
- Thinly sliced peeled potatoes.
- Sweet Onion sliced medium thick.
- Peppers, if you use them, cut in strips about 2 x ½ inch.
- 2 TBSP ( ¼ stick) butter (I know, I know, but some will cook off …)
- Salt, pepper, garlic, etc. ….
Directions
- Combine potatoes, onions, butter, and optionally peppers, with seasonings in a large piece of aluminum foil. Wrap it up tight.
- If you have grill room put it on early and keep the flame under it low, if not pop it in the oven at 350 F for 75 minutes or so.
- It’s hot coming out so plan to cut open in a bowl used then to serve it.
