Foil packed grilled potatoes

For Mother's Day I requested grilled steaks, grilled potatoes, and green beans. Again, I didn't think about taking a picture until I was 2/3 finished with my steak, had eaten my green beans, and one of three foil packed potatoes was eaten. I took a picture of my steak anyway, but Tom saw the picture and kindly told me how unappetizing it was. So imagine a deliciously seasoned, wonderfully grilled T-bone steak. Okay, now on to potatoes. I love eating grilled potatoes, and they're super easy. Well, that's easy for me to say because I just do the prep work...Tom does the grilling. Here's the recipe:

Foil Packet Grilled Potatoes (for 1 packet)
1 medium red potato, cubed
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
dried minced onion
salt
fresh cracked pepper
water

Tear two 15-18 inch lengths of aluminum foil and lay one to top of the other. Pile on your potatoes, carrots, garlic, a generous sprinkling of dried onion, then season with salt and pepper. Bring the long sides together and fold the ends together to crimp them down. Do the same with one short end. Before closing the other short end, pour about 1-2 Tbsp water inside. Then crimp the other short side. Grill over medium heat for about 20 minutes turning once (I think...remember, I don't do the grilling!).

Okay, I'm about 90% positive about that cooking time. This was the first time we added carrots, and our kids loved it. Even our 7-month-old love it!

Here's another variation for sauteed green beans:

Parmesan Green Beans
1 1/2 cups washed, cut green beans
1 Tbsp butter
salt
fresh cracked pepper
2 Tbsp parmesan cheese

Heat your sautee pan over medium heat then add all the ingredients. Cook for a little longer than 5 minutes, or until the parmesan cheese is toasty and golden, and the beans are a bright shade of green.
