Crispy Grilled Potatoes

4 washed and sliced yellow potatoes

4 tablespoons butter

place potatoes on a large piece of heavy duty foil, dot the top with butter and sprinkle with garlic salt.

Seal packet and place on a hot grill, turn heat to medium low. You can roll the packet to the side to cook but do not turn seal down or butter will drain out and cause flare ups.  These do take a while to cook, at least 30 minutes so wait a bit to cook anything that may cook faster.

Steep tea in boiling water for 4 minutes.  Remove bags, let drain but don’t squeeze.

You can adjust the amounts, more sugar if you like it sweeter etc.

Grilled Fish

Firm fleshed white fish  filtets( i use cod, scrod etc)

butter

pepper

 

Preheat the grill

Walmart sells disposable grill grates.  I spray one down with Pam for grilling then rinse off the fish filets and place them on in a single layer.  Dot the top with butter, use as much as you like. Then shake on a bunch of pepper, again, to your liking.  You can also use other seasoning like garlic powder or salt and chives.

Grill for about 5-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets.  Flip and cook for another couple of minutes.  Fish should be opaque all the way through.
