Have you been firing up the grill often? This past week, I made dinner on the grill almost every night! It's easy, delicious, and you don't make too much of a mess in the kitchen. I'm so excited to give you this brand new foil packet sausage and potatoes recipe! I buy a pack of sausages practically every week, I love how versatile and readily available they are.
So what is this whole foil packet thing?
A foil packet is a great way to cook a variety of dishes from sides to desserts. The food is seasoned and tucked in a neatly folded foil packet and cooked directly on the grill. It's a simple no mess way to cook food when your traveling or even in your own backyard!
What you need for this foil packet sausage and potatoes:
- Sausages- I like to use sweet Italian sausages, I find them versatile and delicious. However, you can substitute for any flavor you'd like....you can even try hotdogs!
- Potatoes- Baby potatoes are best, since they are easy to prepare. Yukon gold, red, or multicolor works perfectly. You can also cut up regular potatoes.
- Red pepper- Adds a little color and another level of flavor.
- Corn- Corn on the cob is the best because it's peak season is now! We prefer it cut off the cob but you can also slice it in to coins.
- Olive oil, smoked paprika, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic powder- This seasoning mix brings the flavors all together!
How to assemble the dish
Start by mixing everything together in a big bowl.
Next, rip a medium sized sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. PLEASE use heavy duty! You don't want your packets to break and scatter all over the grill. Then follow this method for folding: *DO NOT FOLD THE PACKET TOO TIGHT!!!
Add a few spoons of the mixture to the center of a piece of foil. Fold the left side over to the right. Like so! Seal the bottom of the packet with a fold. Flip the packet so the right side faces you. Fold. Turn the packet again so the last open side faces you. Fold! Seal all the edges with one more fold.
Cooking the foil packets
Heat an outdoor grill to medium-low. Cook the foil packets for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.

Until next time,
