Potatoes Packets

When I was growing up my mom used to make these cheesy potatoes every summer on the BBQ. All you have to do is thinly slice as many potatoes you need to feed your family. Lay out a layer of tin foil (enough to spread potatoes and then fold over). Spread foil with oil and then arrange potatoes in no more than two layers. The thinner the potato the better and faster they cook. Shred some carrots and spread on top of the potatoes. Top with shredded mozarella cheese and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Fold over the sides to cover top. It should look like a package. Place on a MEDIUM heated BBQ and cook until you can stick a fork into the potatoes with no resistance.

You can do a variety of "Packets" by changing the seasoning or cheese.I usually don't have caraway seeds on hand so I have used taco seasoning, garlic seasoning or Italian seasoning and it turns out just as good. You can play around with whatever is in your cupboard. Potatoes are pretty neutral in taste and can handle most flavors you can throw at them.

I made one last night that was just potatoes and I dolloped butter all around the potatoes and then sprinkled with garlic seasoning.
