3 Ingredient Grilled Potatoes

Comfort food season is over, so bring out your grill!


I like doing side dishes and main dishes on the grill at the same time, and these potatoes go great with just about anything.


I prefer small red potatoes because they come out with a nice creamy texture but don't fall apart.  Just cut them in half, or in thirds if they are bigger.  Small Yukon Golds work too.


Toss the potatoes in a plastic bag (I re-use the ones that the burger rolls come in).

Add 2 tbsp olive oil  and 1 packet dry italian or ranch dressing spices.

Shake to coat.
Pour potatoes out onto a double-layer sheet of foil sprayed with non-stick baking spray.

Cover with another sheet of sprayed foil.  Crimp edges tightly.


Throw on grill rack with low heat for 1 hour, flipping once about halfway through.

Move packet off to one side if you turn up the heat to cook the main dish.


Salt & pepper to taste.

Antipasto is Awesome!

From wikipedia: Antipasto (plural antipasti) , often spelled and/or pronounced as antipasta (antipasta salad), means "before the meal" and is the traditional first course of a formal Italian meal. Traditional antipasto includes cured meats, olives, peperoncini, mushrooms, anchovies, artichoke hearts, various cheeses (such as provolone or mozzarella), pickled meats and vegetables (both in oil or in vinegar).



It is really just marinated bite-sized meats, cheeses, and veggies, so you could use any that you prefer.  This is what I used:

Stick pepperoni, sliced
Salami, cut into cubes
Smoked gouda, cubed
German butter cheese, cubed
Fresh mozzarella balls
Olives, green and black greek, drained
Marinated mushrooms in oil
Marinated slices of cherry pepper
1 bottle italian dressing

Mix all ingredients.  Allow to marinade at least overnight; two days if possible. Shake container occasionally to distribute marinade.

Seriously, you just buy all these goodies and throw together in a container for a day or so.  Then enjoy the awesomeness!



Serve with toothpicks or on lettuce with fresh veggies.  You could also use ham cubes, proscuitto pieces, artichoke hearts, three-bean salad; anything goes!
