  • 2  medium  red, yellow and/or green sweet peppers, cut into 1-inch piecesOn Sale
  • 1  small  onion, cut into thin wedgesOn Sale
  • 1/4  cup  snipped fresh parsleyOn Sale
  • 1/4  cup  olive oilOn Sale
  • 1  to 1 1/2 tsp.  seasoning blend, such as curry powder, Italian seasoning, or pepper blendOn Sale
  • 1/2  tsp.  saltOn Sale
  • 1/4  tsp.  ground black pepperOn Sale

Directions
1.
Tear off four 24x18-inch pieces of heavy foil. Fold each piece in half to make a double thickness of foil that measures 18x12 inches; set aside.
2.
Divide vegetables and parsley among foil pieces, placing in center; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning blend, salt and pepper. For each packet, bring together 2 opposite edges of foil; seal with a double fold. Fold remaining edges together to enclose the vegetable mixture, leaving space for steam to build.
3.
For a charcoal grill, place packets on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 40 to 45 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling, until potatoes are tender. Remove packet from the grill and cool slightly before carefully opening the packets (hot steam will escape). (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place potato packets on grill rack. Cover and grill as above.) Makes 4 servings.

These tasty side-dish potatoes get great flavor from Parmesan cheese, flecks of fresh herbs, and a crumble of crisp bacon. Best of all, they go with anything and require no cleanup.
