Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer recipe featuring tender potatoes and sweet corn grilled in foil packets with a buttery garlic Parmesan sauce, creating crispy edges and rich flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 ears fresh corn, husked and cut into thirds
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 50 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and halve or quarter baby potatoes so they cook evenly. Pat dry.
  3. Husk the ears of corn and slice each into thirds.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley. Add smoked paprika or chili flakes if using.
  5. Toss potatoes and corn in the bowl to coat evenly with the butter mixture.
  6. Tear large sheets of heavy-duty foil (about 12×12 inches each). Divide the vegetable mixture evenly onto each sheet, then fold and seal tightly, leaving room for steam expansion.
  7. Place foil packets on the preheated grill. Cook for 20 minutes, then carefully flip packets over using tongs.
  8. Grill another 10-15 minutes until potatoes are tender and edges start to crisp.
  9. For extra crunch, carefully open the packets and place directly on the grill grates for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning (optional).
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Do not overcrowd foil packets to ensure crispiness. Softening butter before mixing helps coat vegetables evenly. Flip packets halfway through grilling for even cooking. For extra crisp edges, open packets and place directly on grill grates for a few minutes. Can be baked in oven at 400°F for 35-40 minutes with broiler finish if no grill is available. Leftovers store up to 3 days refrigerated; reheat on stovetop or under broiler to maintain crispness.
