Hobo Pack Of New Potatoes Red Onion And Orange Food

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.

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.

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.
