Tastes Like Food

So you’re probably firing up the grill a lot this summer. While you’re cooking your main dish, I recommend giving any extra space on the grill to a tasty potato. It’s easy, and it’s tastier than baked because the flavor is cooked in. (And way healthier than the potato chips or french fries you might usually have with your grilled food.)

Ingredients:

• potatoes
• onion
• olive oil (or butter, if that’s your thing)
• balsamic vinegar (optional, but recommended if you go the olive oil route)
• salt & pepper

Preparation:

1. Peel and quarter the potatoes. (They’ll cook way faster in chunks, rather than a whole potato, plus it makes it easier to share.)
2. Reassemble the potato on a piece of foil.
3. Insert onion slices between the potato parts.
4. Splash with olive oil and a tiny bit of vinegar. Or insert a pat of butter in the center of the potato.
5. Sprinkle salt and pepper all over the potatoes.
6. Wrap in foil and put on the grill.

They usually take about 25-30 minutes, which is usually longer than burgers or other grillables. So get them on first! If you’re not sure if they’re cooked, pierce them with a fork. If the fork goes in easily, they’re ready.
