How to make Foil Wrapped Potaotes

I like Foil Wrapped Potatoes because the moisture is locked in and yet the potatoes are not soggy.

This Foil Wrapped Potatoes recipe serve four persons, and takes an hour to barbecue over hot coals.

Ingredients
4 large potatoes, scrubbed
1 tablespoon (20 ml) oil
2 tablespoons (40 g) butter
4 tablespoons (80 ml) sour cream
chopped chives

Use the oil to grease squares of doubled aluminum foil, with the dull side down, and wrap potatoes individually and seal.

Place on the grid over hot coals and cook for 1 hour, turning occasionally, until potatoes are soft when lightly squeezed. Take the potatoes off the grid.

Open top of foil, slash potatoes with a cross and squeeze.
Fork in butter, top with sour cream and sprinkle with chives.

There you have it, your very own foil wrapped potatoes.

Suggestions: Serve foil wrapped potatoes with barbecued steak.
