These grilled potatoes are just the best. Honestly. And this is coming from someone who doesn’t really care for potatoes. Not even French Fries. Well, unless they are my Oven Baked Seasoned French Fries… I can finish off a batch of those in about 2.2 minutes.
But, yeah. I do the happy dance when these Garlic Herb Grilled Potatoes in Foil appear on the menu. Okay, I set the menu, so it’s no accident, but whatevs. Just remember that, I.am.woman. ‘Nuff said. But, also: I.am.mom. I.am.wife. I.am.cook. Obvi, the menu is my domain.

How to Grill Potatoes in Foil
- Combine potatoes and herbs in a large bowl.
- Arrange the potatoes on a large piece of foil and fold the edges to make a packet.
- Place the packets on the grill and cover. Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Take off the grill and serve.
RECIPE NOTES:
- Use smaller new potatoes to maximize texture. I use small Yukon gold potatoes.
- This potato recipe is very versatile. You can use simple flavor additions or swaps like lemon, different seasonings, shallots, onions, and so on.
- The potato packets can also be prepared in the oven at 425F for about 15 to 20 minutes.
So easy and simple, right? Charred, smoky flavor, near endless flavor possibilities, and very yummy. Me thinks these will be great for a camp dinner, as well.

I’m with Dave, holy shit was that hard to read. It’s not a recipe when the only ingredients can be swapped out for entirely different ingredients like lemon and shallots, per the instructions. It’s just potatoes. And you’re not going to get any charred flavor in foil.
As a dude just looking for a recipe, I honestly can’t figure out why I have to read through so much commentary and narration. Just give me the recipe if it’s a good recipe – I don’t need the hype and the pep talk mommy blogger woman power b/s. Guys cook food too, I don’t feel the need to hype myself for doing something that literally billions of other people already do.
Let’s just keep it simple.
That was a lot of bs commentary to read through just to get to the point of your sarcastic misogynistic point….we get it ya don’t wanna read now run along….geez
Every intelligent person knows you just scroll to the bottom of the page if you want the recipe without the story. Please leave.
Say it louder for those in the back!
Actually you have to scroll to the middle, cuz bottom is all comments. The blog is bs, and by bs, I mean pointless filler so that you can fit pages of ads. Thus is the internet.
I’m a female and i totally agree!
Most recipes have a jump to the recipe function.
These look delicious and easy! Just wondering if you cook over direct or indirect heat? Thanks for a great recipe.
I made these on the Weber started on medium high with 2 burners for 15 min, turned over the packet and lowered the heat to med low for 15 min. I also sprayed the foil with coconut oil spray. You can change up the herbs to your liking.
I love the flavors you have in this dish! I have to try it out!
I love grilled potatoes in foil! I will try your recipe!
I’m always wondering about the best ways to use the grill to make sides at a barbecue! Will definitely have to try this!
Ohmygosh! This is like a flashback (only tastier)! This just reminded me that I haven’t made potatoes in foil on the grill in ages! I love all the delicious herbs you have here. Can’t wait to make this!
This looks so easy and delicious!
Love these foil packs! They have such great flavor and so easy to clean up!
Grilled herbed potatoes … nothing like them.
