BBQ potato wedges

Wash your baking potatoes. Cut them in sixteenths lengthwise then place them in the middle of a sheet of tinfoil. Add a dollop of margarine or butter in to the middle, as well as diced garlic, red onions, shallots. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over top. Wrap the tinfoil up to ensure no leaks and place it on the BBQ on medium heat for approximately half an hour, turning the package after about 15 minutes. Test the doneness of the potatoes with a fork, it should slide in without resistance. Done!
Damn that sounds ******* delicioius! I'm with you.. I LOVE grilling stuff wrapped in tinfoil. Tastes muchhh better for some reason.

Here's my contribution to this thread..

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettucine pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2. In a large skillet melt the butter and add the chopped garlic. Cook on low for about 5 minutes, stirring often, making sure not to burn the garlic.
3. Pour about a 1/4 cup of the heavy cream into a small bowl. Add the egg yolk and beat together; put aside. Pour the remaining cream into the frying pan. Increase the heat to medium-high. As the cream starts to boil, mix rapidly using a whisk. Slowly add the cream/egg mixture. You do not want the egg to curdle. Continue whisking until well blended.
4. Add 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese and continue to mix the cream. Pour in the remaining Parmesan and the parsley, mix until smooth. Immediately remove from stove. Serve over cooked pasta.
That's the base of the recipe. From here I love frying up jumbo shrimp and mixing it in, along with diced roma tomatoes and red bell peppers. It's soooo amazing. It's about the only thing I cook when my folks make me cook dinner if they're busy/need a break from cooking.
