Deanne Wilkins of Idaho Falls, Idaho, says she often prepares her savory recipe for Garlic Potatoes, a layered potato loaf, on an outdoor grill at the family's country home.
- 3 medium (6 to 8 ounces each) potatoes, well scrubbed
- Cooking spray
- Pepper to taste
- 1/2 stick butter ( 1/4 cup)
- 1 medium onion, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a loaf pan or small casserole with cooking spray.
Slice potatoes, with skins on, into pan or dish. Season with pepper.
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, saute butter with chopped onion and garlic salt for 5 minutes, or until onions are soft. Pour onion mixture over the potatoes.
Cover pan with foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Or, place pan on a medium-hot grill for 20 to 25 minutes. Makes 4 servings.
