Ingredients:
- 4 hot dogs, sliced
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Foil Packs: In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes and sliced onion with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Lay out four large sheets of aluminum foil and divide the potato mixture evenly among them.
- Add the Hot Dogs and Sauce: Place the sliced hot dogs on top of the potatoes in each foil pack. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce over each pack, making sure the ingredients are well-coated.
- Seal the Packs: Fold the foil over the ingredients to create tightly sealed packs.
- Cook the Packs:
- For Grilling: Place the foil packs on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are tender.
- For Baking: Place the packs on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
- Add Cheese (Optional): Carefully open the packs, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and close the packs for another 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Be careful when opening the packs, as steam will escape.
These BBQ Hot Dog & Potato Packs are a fun, easy way to enjoy a full meal with all the flavors of summer in a convenient foil pack—perfect for any casual gathering or weeknight dinner!
