Polish Sausage and Sweet Potato Foil Packets
Grilling season is here and Polish Sausage and Sweet Potato Foil Packets are perfect for a no-fuss, no clean up Summer meal.
Equipment
- 1 roll of aluminum foil
- 1 grill
- 1 small mixing bowl
Ingredients
Instructions
- Grab two large sweet potatoes or yams and peel. Dice into approx 1-inch pieces, and toss into a large bowl.
- Dice a medium red onion and add it to the bowl as well.
- Slice polish sausages in to approx. 1" thick coin like slices. Add to bowl.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 2T orange juice, 1t thyme, 1t garlic powder, 2T olive oil, 1/4 salt and 1/4 black pepper. Whisk until well combined to create a marinade.
- Pour the marinade mixture over top of the potatoes, onion and sausage. Mix in the large bowl until everything is well combined and coated.
- Tear the tin foil into 4 large pieces. I like approx 18" x 12" to make sure I have plenty of foil to fold and secure the packets nice and tight so they will not leak.
- Divide the sausage and potato mixture equally into the center of each of the 4 foil sheets. Fold the sides of each foil sheet inward and then continue folding up from the bottom to create a pocket that fully encloses the mixture inside of the foil.
- Place packets directly on grates of a hot grill heated to 500 degrees. Cook for 15-20 mins until potatoes are soft and slightly charred. Tip: sometimes I rotate the packets around the grill to ensure they are cooking evenly.
- Remove packets from grill and transfer to a plate. Tip: be careful when opening the packets as hot steam will escape as you unwrap them. Serve with crusty bread and a side salad.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To reheat on the stovetop, coat skillet with a little olive oil (I love this olive oil sprayer) and heat skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the leftover mixture and stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until heated through.
