Potatoes on the Grill
I am really becoming a fan of potatoes on the grill. The one recipe I made a while back was definitely good but high calorie to say the least. It was the 3-cheese grilled potatoes that included tons of cheese and bacon. It got a little brown on the bottom which made it all the more delectable but the hubby doesn't like all that cheese and I couldn't eat all of it. When my son gave me some of his home-grown Yukon Golds, I thought it was a good time to try them on the grill. They cook up so quick that I thought grilling them was the perfect choice. They turned out great but I don't have anymore. So when I saw baby red potatoes at Erie Co. Farms, I decided to try those. Voila, they cooked up just as quick. Now I've moved on to sweet potatoes and I'm equally impressed. What I do it cut them into chunks (sweets a little bigger, baby reds in half) , drizzle with a little oil and season with some GrillMates seasoning. Believe it or not for the baby reds I use the Montreal Steak and sometimes put onions and peppers in with them. For the sweets I use the Smokehouse Maple that has some brown sugar in it. I coat a double thickness of foil with cooking spray, seal it up and cook over med heat for about 20 minutes, flipping half-way through. I like to get them before they've gotten burned on the bottom but still cooked. This is perfect for us because 1 sweet potato is plenty for us, as is a handful of the baby reds. I enjoy trying the different spice mixes and have a few more up my sleeve.
