pouch potatoes
One of the many 'pouch' side dishes that are a staple in my BBQ and campfire repertoire. Dish free, easy to put together, and they puff up when they are ready. What could be easier?

How To Make pouch potatoes
-
Step 1Combine diced potatoes and onion onto a piece of heavy duty foil - shiny side up - large enough to leave 2-3 inches of clear foil on either side and 4-5 inches top and bottom of your potato pile
-
Step 2Sprinkle 1 tsp of the steak spice over potato mixture, toss, then sprinkle the 2nd tsp.
-
Step 3Place chunks of the butter both on the bottom and top of your potato pile
-
Step 4Bring the top and bottom edges of the foil together and fold over several times, leaving some air space between potatoes and foil.
-
Step 5Repeat with each side of your foil package until a sealed pouch is formed
-
Step 6Cook pouch indirectly on the BBQ - meaning on an upper rack, over a non-burning element, or to the side of your burning charcoal - for 30mins, turn the pouch every 8-10. Total cooking time will vary with heat level of BBQ/fire mins
-
Step 7When potatoes are cooked, the pouch will swell up with steam. Note - this will only work if your pouch is well sealed and you haven't accidentally poked a hole in it during handling
-
Step 8Open foil pouch and serve. Watch out for the steam when you first tear the foil - especially if the pouch is puffed up! Enjoy!
