My Recipe Box - Foil Potatoes

 July 2025

Prince Edward Island Canada

My mom often made this in the summer. I never thought to post it as it is so simple.

Simply combine sliced potatoes with onion, Italian salad dressing, seasonings (onion and garlic powder), salt and pepper, and butter/olive oil for the perfect effortless side dish!

Add any other vegetables such as peppers, mushrooms, squash.

Mix it up with other seasonings such as chili or Montreal steak spice. Drizzle some lemon juice.

You can cook on a grill, over a fire or in the oven (350° 40 - 60 minutes)

Serve with scallions and a dollop of sour cream. You could also add salsa, cheese, jalapenos, bacon bits.

1. Slice potatoes about ¼” inch thick. If adding additional veggies, wash and slice them as well.
2. Place one whole sliced potato and some sliced onions in the center of each foil square and top with Italian dressing, butter and seasonings.
3. Seal, grill and serve!
