Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Scrub Yukon Gold potatoes and slice into ¼-inch rounds. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (204°C).
  2. Prepare Foil: Cut two pieces of aluminum foil, each 18x12 inches. Spread a tablespoon of butter in the center of each sheet.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Layer half of the potato slices on the first buttered rectangle. Sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper, minced garlic, and diced onion. Top with a few pats of butter. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
  4. Seal the Packets: Drizzle olive oil over the layered potatoes. Cover with the second piece of foil and seal tightly.
  5. Grill: Cook the packets on the grill for about 15-20 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
  6. Serve: Remove from grill, let cool slightly, and open the foil. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving if desired.
