A delightful twist on grilled potatoes, infused with garlic and lemon zest for a refreshing and flavorful side dish.
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Ensure the grill is clean to prevent sticking and maintain the flavor of the dish.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes and slice the onion thinly.
Uniformly sized pieces ensure even cooking.
Lay out 4 large squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil and spray them with non-stick cooking spray.
Using heavy-duty foil prevents tearing and ensures the packets hold up during cooking.
Divide the potatoes and onions evenly among the foil squares.
Spread the vegetables out to ensure even cooking.
Sprinkle the garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Add a small pat of butter to each packet.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Fold the foil over the vegetables and seal the edges tightly to form packets.
Ensure the packets are sealed well to trap steam and cook the vegetables evenly.
Place the packets on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through.
Check for doneness by carefully opening one packet and testing the potatoes with a fork.
Serve the packets directly on plates, letting each person open their own for a fun presentation.
Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor.
