This camping-friendly method will reward you with the irresistible aroma of garlic and herbs – just be careful with you unwrap the foil after the potatoes are done cooking, as there will be a release of very hot steam. —Adam Rapoport

Ingredients
-
16
medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 2 inches in diameter), halved
-
3 tablespoons
kosher salt
-
2 tablespoons
extra-virgin olive oil
-
6
unpeeled large garlic cloves, smashed
-
1 teaspoon
chopped fresh thyme
-
1/2 teaspoon
finely chopped fresh rosemary
Directions
-
Place potatoes in a large saucepan. Add salt and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Return to same saucepan. Add all remaining ingredients to potatoes; toss to coat. Let cool.
-
Arrange six 12-inch squares of foil on a work surface. Divide potato mixture among foil squares, placing 1 garlic clove atop potatoes on each square. Crimp foil to seal packets. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
-
Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Place potato packets on grill and cook, turning occasionally, until heated through and sizzling, about 15 minutes.
-
Transfer packets to plates. Pierce foil with a fork to release steam. Open packets carefully (hot steam will escape).
