Leonard’s Grilled Potatoes
A wonderful side dish of deeply browned potatoes and onion that you can make on your charcoal or gas grill.
Equipment
- A Charcoal or Gas Grill (A griddle plate works best but aluminum foil can also be used.)
Ingredients
- ½ lb Eastern Potatoes
- ½ Each Onion
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Oregano
- To Taste Salt and Pepper
Instructions
Mise En Place
- Wash potatoes and cut into ¼ inch slices.
- Peel onion and cut in half from stem to root. With flat side down, continue cutting ¼ inch slices. Separate the slices. If you cut them correctly, each piece of onion should have a banana-like shape.
- Cut the butter into 2 or 3 small pieces.
- Combine all ingredients and mix well.
- Preheat gas or charcoal grill to high heat.
Cooking If Using Aluminum Foil
- Select a piece of aluminum foil that is large enough to completely wrap the potato mixture. “Grease” one side of the foil with a small amount of butter or oil. Wrap the potatoes tightly in the foil and place on the grill 20-30 minutes.
- Remove from grill, open foil and serve.
Cooking If Using Grill Griddle
- Transfer potato mixture to griddle in a single layer. Cover and allow them to cook for about 5-10 minutes.
- Flip over the slices so that the 2nd sides brown. Cover & cook another 5-10 minutes.
- Remove from griddle to a bowl and serve.
Notes
Potatoes and onions should be dark brown and crisp.
