Easiest Grilled Potatoes and Onions You'll Ever Make
Summertime is livin', ain't it? Wait. I've already said that in my grilled corn on the cob post!
Repeating myself or not, it's still true. We've covered how to grill corn; today we cover grill potatoes and onions.
Start with a disposable roasting pan. Since these potatoes are great as leftovers, feel free to fill the pan!
Wash your 'taters. These are butter potatoes, but I've used red, russet, and butter golds. I haven't tried fingerlings, but they'd work too.
Cut the potatoes in half, then each half in half (longways), then quarter. Or, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Whatever floats your boat.
Throw in some bite-sized pieces of onion. We have also thrown in summer squash. Nommy.
Season to your palate's liking. I use various seasonings depending on our grill day mood. This go-round I used onion powder, fresh ground pepper, kosher salt and garlic powder. Once you've seasoned, stir a bit to coat the veggies. Add ½ can of chicken broth then top with butter pats or Shirleys, if that's your thang.
Cover with foil, tightly sealing around the edges.
Throw on the fire pit. Our temps hovered between 300° and 350° while the potatoes cooked. Fork check after 30 minutes (raise foil cover, then see if a fork will easily pierce one of the larger potato pieces). If the taters are still a bit firm, keep cooking. Check in 15 minute intervals till tender.
Finished product. You can see how much the onion cooked down. Squash and peppers will do the same thing.
Enjoy, then throw away the pan for easy cleaning.
See? So easy and the house stays cool!
Happy grilling!

I've made a variation of this in the past except I've thrown on some Montreal Steak Seasoning on the potatoes with some butter. Delicious!
I love that seasoning (have used it on these taters too)!
I bet you could do this with sweet potatoes as well...Nom Nom!
I'm not a fan of the sweet tater, but you absolutely could. Now you've got me to thinking. I may try it.
Oh my gosh, you have me hungry for potatoes at 9:30 in the morning! Definitely going to try this recipe this week.
Ain't nuthin' wrong with that!
This looks so simple and yummy! Thanks for sharing!!
So simple. So yummy!
Oh WOW! Top that baby up with some cheese and bacon and BAM it is ready for the belly~
YES! Like a loaded grilled potato! Brilliant!
I like how you think. We have never make potatoes this way on the grill, but this is a great idea!
I'm all about easy in the summer. This. Easy!
Must. Buy. Grill. I always tell myself I'm going to score one at an end of season sale but then I forget!
Omgosh, you must! We use ours all year round, even in the cold temps!
YUM!! I love grilling our side dishes.
*pinning*
Thanks for the share!
sounds great and easy
So great! So easy!
I am totally craving those potatoes and onions now and I don't even have a grill! Can you do this in an oven instead?
Absolutely! Same temp, same method.
