NOTES

  • You can use fresh or frozen diced potatoes, just make sure they are diced very small.
  • Add in any veggie you desire just cut the pieces small, or thin.
  • Use your favorite beef, pork, or chicken smoked sausage.
  • Add a touch of your favorite grill seasoning, it helps the potatoes come alive.
  • Turnover the foil packet at least once halfway through cooking.
  • When turning the pack, use tongs and grab at an end with no mixture, like shown above, so the foil does not tear.
  • Use caution when opening. The steam from the cooked ingredients can cause severe burns.
