Hobo Pack Of New Potatoes Red Onion And Orange Recipes

FOIL PACK POTATOES WITH ROSEMARY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Divide potatoes between 2 large sheets of foil, then lift edges of foil around potatoes to form a nest so the oil won't leak. Divide garlic, rosemary, and oil between packages, then sprinkle each with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Bring edges of foil together to enclose each package, covering completely, then crimp to seal packages closed.
• Prepare a grill for medium, indirect heat, preferably with hardwood or hardwood charcoal. Place foil packages near the coals and cook, moving packages around the coals occasionally for even cooking, until potatoes are tender, 30-45 minutes.
• Do Ahead
• Packets can cooked and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

SWEET-POTATO AND ORANGE FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking.
• Toss together sweet potatoes, oranges, onions, butter, oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Put a 2-foot-long double layer of foil on a work surface. Place half of sweet potato mixture in center and sprinkle with 1/2 cup raisins. Cover with a third sheet of foil and tightly roll up all sides to seal. Wrap packet in a fourth sheet of foil to ensure insulation. Make another packet with remaining vegetables and raisins.
• Put packets side by side directly on hot coals. Cover grill and open grill vents, then grill packets until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
• While packets are grilling, stir together honey, lemon juice, and parsley. Remove packets from grill and carefully unwrap. Drizzle vegetables with honey mixture.
• Cooks' Notes
• Gas grill method: Put packets on grill rack and close lid. Roast with grill set to moderately low.
• Oven method: Toss potatoes, oranges, onions, raisins, butter, and oil together in a large shallow roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil and roast in a preheated 450°F oven until potatoes begin to soften, about 50 minutes. Uncover and roast until vegetables are browned in spots and tender, about 25 minutes more.

SWEET POTATO AND APPLE HOBO PACK

Steps:

• Build a fire in the grill. Let the fire die down, until the coals are covered with gray ash.
• Put the golden raisins and Cognac in a small bowl and soak for 10 minutes.
• Tear off 8 sheets of heavy-duty foil, each about 2 feet long, and divide them into 2 stacks. Place half the sweet potato quarters, apple quarters, onion slices and sage in the center of the top sheet in each stack. Dot each with half the butter and half the raisins, plus the orange zest and salt and pepper to taste. Fold the top sheet in each stack over the vegetables, rotate each package one-quarter turn, and fold the second sheet over it. Repeat with remaining 2 sheets of foil.
• Place the packs in the coals around the periphery of the fire. Pile up the coals around the pack and cook 30 minutes.
• Remove the pack from the coals, unwrap and check: If the sweet potatoes need more time, put the pack back in the coals or in a 300-degree oven until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork but give a bit of resistance.

Steps:

• Peel and cut up the potatoes and carrots into bite-size chunks. Chop up onion.
• Combine all veggies in tin foil or foil baking bag. Season with desired amount of seasoning salt and top with butter. Seal foil well (you may need more than one bag, so the vegetables are done evenly).
• Grill until potatoes and carrots are soft, about 40 minutes (flip bags at least 3-4 times during grilling). Remove from grill and place the veggies in a large bowl and add the sour cream, mixing well.

HOBO PACK OF NEW POTATOES, RED ONION AND ORANGE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix potatoes, oranges, orange peel, red onions, oregano, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk mustard, vinegar and garlic, then add olive oil in a thin stream, whisking until emulsified. Pour dressing over potato and orange mixture, and toss gently to combine.
• Tear off 6 12-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and stack in two piles (three sheets each). Pour half the potato mixture into center of each top sheet of foil. Shape ingredients on each sheet into a pile 6 inches by 6 inches, and pour any dressing left in the bowl over the piles. Wrap ingredients in each pile in the top sheet of aluminum foil, sealing it tightly, followed by the second and third sheets.
• Prepare a fire in the grill. When flames have subsided and coals are glowing, carefully remove grill grate, and set hobo packs directly on coals. With tongs, gather a few hot coals around hobo packs. Replace grill grate, and let cook 25 minutes. Remove grill grate, and with kitchen mitt or spatula, remove hobo packs from grill. Cut a vent through top of each pack, and serve.
