Potatoes la Ketchup

 

Recipe By : " The Barbecue! Bible " by Steven Raichlen

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons ketchup

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

4 tablespoons unsalted butter -- ( 1/2 stick) at

room temperature

4 medium potatoes (each about 6 ounces) cut into

1/4-inch slices

1 small onion -- thinly sliced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

 

 

Set up grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium.

 

Mix the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice in a small bowl and set

aside.

 

Cut 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each 14 by 8 inches. Place a sheet of

foil, shiny side down, narrow edge toward you, on the work surface. Smear a

tablespoon of the butter in the center of the bottom half of the rectangle (the

half closest to you). Arrange one-quarter of the potatoes in a mound on top of

the butter. Place one-quarter of the onion on top of the potatoes. Spoon 1

tablespoon of the ketchup mixture over the potatoes and season with salt and

pepper. Fold the top half of the foil over the potatoes and bring the top and

bottom edges together. Fold the edges over several times to make a tight seal.

Prepare the remaining packages the same way.

 

When ready to cook, place the foil packages in the center of the hot grate, away

from the heat. Cover the grill and cook until the packages are dramatically

puffed, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve, warning everyone to open the packages at arm's

length, using knives and forks, as the escaping steam will be very hot. Serves

4.

 

Note: Our packages did not " dramatically puff " after 30 minutes. We don't know

why, but the potatoes were perfectly cooked and very good. Open packages for

small children.
