Grilled Saddleback Potatoes Food

CHEESY HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil.
• In a small saucepot, bring the butter, oil and garlic to a boil over high heat; remove from the heat.
• Using 2 wooden spoons placed on each side of a potato as a guide, cut the potato into thin slices about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick, without cutting through the bottom (the spoons will keep you from cutting all the way through the potato). Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and brush each potato with some of the butter mixture, trying to get the butter between the slices. Sprinkle each potato with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the potatoes from the oven. The potatoes will have started to spread out from cooking and it will be easier to brush each slice with some more of the butter mixture. Put the potatoes back in the oven for an additional 20 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven again and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top and into the slices. Return to the oven to melt and brown the cheese, an additional 5 minutes. Serve the potatoes immediately.

HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Stir together the butter, olive oil, chives and some salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Place a potato between the handles of 2 wooden spoons or 2 chopsticks. Slice the potato into thin slices, leaving 1/4 inch at the bottom unsliced; the spoon handles will prevent you from slicing the potato all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush on the butter mixture, making sure to get in between all the slices. Bake until tender and crisp, 55 to 60 minutes.

HASSELBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Peel the potatoes, and place in bowl of cold water to prevent browning. Place potatoes into a large wooden or metal spoon. Using a sharp knife, make slices across the potato the short way about 1/8 to 1/4 inch apart, making sure to cut down to the lip of the spoon, not all the way through the potato. The slices should stay connected at the bottom, and the spoon helps keep the depth even. Return the potato to the bowl of water, and proceed with the remaining potatoes.
• When all of the potatoes are cut, place them cut side up in a shallow baking dish or small roasting pan. Drizzle with half of the butter, then season with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven, and drizzle with the remaining butter. Sprinkle Romano cheese and bread crumbs onto the tops of the potatoes, and season with a little more salt and pepper. Return to the oven, and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until nicely browned.

GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• On half of a 24-inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, arrange the potato slices in overlapping rows.
• Combine garlic powder, seasoned salt, paprika and Parmesan cheese; sprinkle over the potatoes.
• Dot with butter.
• Seal foil over potatoes.
• Grill over medium heat for 30 minutes or until tender, turning once.
• Note: I cook it off the direct heat so I don't burn them, and I cook them for about 45 to 60 minutes.

GRILLED HASSLEBACK SWEET POTATOES WITH MOLASSES-NUTMEG BUTTER

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add 1 tablespoon kosher salt, bring to a boil and cook until a paring knife inserted into the center of the potatoes meets with some resistance. (Do not cook through.) Drain and let cool slightly.
• Mix together the butter, molasses, cilantro, orange zest and nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium high for indirect grilling.
• Cut off a thin slice of each potato lengthwise to create an even base for the potato to rest on. Slice off the ends of each potato. Rest each potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons placed lengthwise along the potato (to act as a stop for the knife) and carefully cut vertical slits about every 1/8 inch.
• Brush the potatoes with the canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on the cooler side of the grill, cover and cook until lightly golden and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Place the potatoes on a platter and immediately smear the tops with the butter mixture, making sure it melts into the cuts. Heat the rum in a small saucepan, flambe and pour over the potatoes. Serve immediately.

GRILLED SADDLEBACK POTATOES

Steps:

• Carefully cut thin slices across and almost through the potatoes.
• Combine the butter, garlic powder, paprika and seasoned salt.
• Top each potato with the butter mixture, rubbing into the cuts.
• Individually wrap each potato in aluminum foil.
• Roast on a hot, covered grill 45 - 60 minutes or until soft, turning occasionally.

GRILLED "BAKED" POTATOES

Steps:

• Each potato is going to need 2 wraps of foil so if you are grilling 4 potatoes, you will need 8 pieces of foil.
• Scrub potatoes clean and poke holes all around potato. Brush olive oil over the potato. ( I just use my hands).
• Wrap potatoes in foil tightly.
• Place on the grill (if using a gas grill, place on top) 400 degrees. Leave them there for an hour, turing at the 30 minute point.
• Remove from grill and enjoy with whatever toppings you like.
• This is what I do, I put my potatoes in first, then corn (for grilled corn) and then my meat (chicken, steak, whatever you like). It all cooks in the grill and ready at the same time.
• Try it and see what you think -- .

GRILLED POTATOES OR ROASTED POTATOES ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in microwave until tender but firm (about 3-4 minutes).
• Cool (at least an hour works best) and cube.
• Microwave onion pieces for about 1-2 minutes so they are slightly soft.
• Mix with cubed potatoes.
• Coat thoroughly (but lightly) with olive oil and as much seasoning salt as you like.
• Place mixture on grill, I recommend using a vegetable/seafood grate, over hot coals. Cover to prevent flair-ups due to the oil.
• Cook approximately 20 minutes, until golden, turning about every 5 minutes.
• Serve with sour cream and/or ketchup.
• This method can be used for squash, broccoli, carrots etc.
• You can also use garlic salt or other spices like oregano in place of, or in addition to, the seasoning salt.
