Well I am back! I was cleaning the whole house after my new paint job in the kitchen, redecorating, and moving furniture around. That is how I spent my Memorial Day weekend. The downstairs is finally done, and now I will be working on the upstairs. My son's room is getting painted today, and when my daughter goes overseas for the year for school, her bedroom and bath will be painted. It will probably take me that long to get it done, I am not as young as I use to be.
So now I am back to my old ways, cooking dinner every night. It's summertime, all meals will be cooked outside, weather permitting. I made these savory potato packets the other night for the grill. And who ever thought we would be able to buy purple potatoes at the market? The texture of these "purple babies" as I call them, is so smooth and flavorful.
I used the steamable in the bag purple potatoes. Tear off squares of foil, I made four packets. Cut the potatoes in quarters (I only used 1/2 the bag), divide potatoes onto each piece of foil. Peel a Vidalia onion and cut in half, then slice thickly and divide on top of the potato packets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, 1/4 tsp of minced garlic (the jar kind is fine) drizzle with olive oil, top with a few springs of fresh thyme. You could also use rosemary if you like.
Fold them up tightly, onto the grill for 25 minutes and you have yourself some fantastic tasting "purple babies"! Turn the potatoes as they are grilling. Be careful opening the potatoes, they will be hot and steamy.
