Hobo Potatoes

This is a simple grilled potato recipe that Deirdre made up a few years ago.  We titled the name of this dish "Hobo Potatoes," after its similarity to this recipe titled a "Hobo Dinner."  Here is the recipe for Hobo Potatoes:

Ingredients:

- 4-6 potatoes, cut into quarters
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Olive oil
- 2-3 rosemary sprigs

Directions:

1.  Place the potatoes in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.  Pour a few tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes and toss them to coat.
2.  Lay out a piece of aluminum foil.  If you have it, spray that aluminum foil with Pam or any spray oil.  
3.  Place the potatoes in the foil, and place on top of the spuds the rosemary sprigs.  Seal up the aluminum foil pouch.
4.  Place the foil pouch on a heated grill and cook for 45 minutes.  Turn the pouch over about every 15 minutes.
5.  After 45 minutes on the grill, remove the pouch.  Open the pouch and discard the rosemary.  Serve the potatoes and enjoy!

Cook's Notes:
We prefer to use Yukon Gold potatoes for this recipe, but any potato will work.
