Grilled Rosemary Potato Packets are so easy to make and so delicious! Simple wrap some sliced potatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper and rosemary in a foil packet and grill! The aroma of the potatoes and rosemary when you open the packets is amazing!
People. If you are grilling this summer (or winter, if you’re like me and have a gas grill on your deck) you owe it to yourself to make these foil potato packets!
If you’re grilling a main dish, why not grill your side dish too! Especially when they are so easy and so delicious.
Really, the sighs from people when they open their packet and they get that whiff of rosemary.
Ingredients
Potatoes – I usually have one potato per person, per packet. If they are really small or really large potatoes adjust accordingly.
Rosemary – one sprig per packet. If you don’t want to use rosemary you can omit, but it really is amazing!
Olive oil, salt and pepper.
Instructions
Preheat the grill to high.
Thinly slice potatoes (about 1/4 inch thick.)
Drizzle a sheet of aluminum foil with olive oil.
Add sliced potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and top with rosemary sprig.
Fold up sides and close to make a packet.
Place packets on grill seam side down. I like to start seam side down because that gets the rosemary over the heat right away.
Grill for 15 minutes, turn and grill for 15 more minutes.
Remove from the grill. Be careful opening because there will be hot steam!
Don’t you just love when something so easy turns out to be so delicious?!
Who would think that these 5 simple ingredients would result in something so aromatic, so bursting with flavor?
I typically grill these year round, but if you don’t have access to a grill, you can make them in the oven. Simply roast them at 450 for about 30 minutes.

That looks super yummy
This is such a brilliant grilling recipe. I’m always looking for summer sides, and this one is so good and goes with everything.
Super easy and delicious for camping (or pretend camping on our patio LOL). Love the simplicity and easy clean up…thanks!
The perfect side dish for summertime! 🙂 Looks delicious.
This is absolutely delicious! I love that it’s such a crowd pleaser for the whole family
I always get stumped on side dishes when my husband grills out so this is perfect that I can just toss these on the grill too. I love when such simple ingredients come together perfectly!
I made these tonight to go with our steak salads and my husband and I both LOVED them!!!! I even made an extra packet for our lunches tomorrow. I could eat these potatoes every night. Yum! And so easy. Thanks, Pam.
These since your post way back when have become my favorite potatoes, many thanks.
…when you open the packet is ambrosia to the senses. Yes, I said “ambrosia to the senses” – aren’t you amazed that people are not beating down my door to get me to become a professional writer?!
Thanks for the chuckle!
Definitely going to try the recipe. I love potatoes with rosemary. And dill. And cheese. And… you get the idea.
I’m sure it’s just as good in 2010 as it was in 2007!
Heck yes, it is about time you mentioned these and yum 🙂
What civilised way to treat potatoes.
i love rosemary taters, and the fact that preparing them like this means that i get to do some unwrapping is quite an added bonus. 🙂
These look delicious! Rosemary and potato is a perfect combination. 😉
It’s like opening a present!
From 3 to nearly 600. Wow, you’ve come a long way baby!
🙂

Wow! You’ve been at this blogging business quite a while now! I love rosemary with potatoes. These packets look delicious!
I believe I was one of your 3 followers then! And I agree that you are within your legal blogger rights to repost after 3 years, when no one remembers.
Great little recipe. I know how you feel about posting great recipes early on. I threw out some of my big gun recipes when I had no readers… Well, I think I may have had one, my good friend that was forced to read the blog because..well, she’s my good friend.
Another friday’s favorite~
If your blog is like mine… it is our family cookbook, journal and photo album. The story of our lives.
Yummmmm. I’m so grilling these this weekend. Thanks for sharing. Have a fabulous weekend. Blessings, SusanD
Quick, easy, energy effecient and good – what could be better.
A recipe that is “barely a recipe” is the BEST! Easy, healthy and full of flavor. I would love for you to link this up at my new blog carnival.
Family Food Fridays
We have these all the time. Potatoes in the Foil is the recipe at my house. Love rosemary!
I do believe we have legal blogger rights. However, I’m sure there’s a talk at BlogHer about it. So I’ll keep you posted 😛
Awesome recipe! Rosemary and potatoes were meant to be together.
I cannot wait to have a grill again… Yum!
I love grilled potatoes-the other morning I made potatoe hash-with celery and shallots-yummy.
