Time Saver Recipes - Grilled Potatoes

This quick and easy way to make potatoes on the grill is sure to be a hit at your next cook-out... or even as a side dish for dinner with the family.



Clean as many potatoes as you'll need, and bake in the microwave, be sure to poke a few holes in each potato with a fork. Bake until they're done, but a little bit firm. Mine usually take 3 to 4 minutes per medium potato.

Once the potatoes are baked, slice lengthwise and butter both the cut and the skin side. Sprinkle the cut side with Seasoned Salt and pepper.

Place skin side down on a hot grill and cook for about a minute or until crispy. Turn and cook the cut side for a minute or two, rotating to make "grill" marks. Serve immediately.

You can serve with added butter or sour cream, although they taste great as is.

You can also grill these potatoes on an indoor electric grill.

Happy Grilling!

Tuesday Tutorial ----- Picnic Accessories

Since it is picnic time I thought these tutorials for picnic accessories would come in handy.

I love this net food cover.   Don't you just hate having to put up with flies.   Instructions are on A Spoonful of Sugar.



You won't have to worry about the napkins blowing away if you make this diy napkin holder found on Martha Stewart. 

 How about this insulated picnic tote found on Sew Mama Sew. 
It does double duty as a cold food grocery tote.  


And finally,  how about a quilt to sit on.  This one is water resistant by Centsational Girl.
