Gather and prep ingredients and preheat the grill to 400℉ or medium high heat.
2
In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients until well combined.

Bringing the short sides of the foil together, fold the seams together twice and then tuck the ends in and up to seal tightly.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Place sausage on the bottom of the foil packet and veggies on top so the sausage releases fat and flavors the vegetables as they cook.
Cut potatoes into small cubes (about ½-inch) so they cook through in the 20–25 minute window without drying out.
Seal foil packets tightly by folding the short sides together twice and tucking the ends up and over to trap steam and heat evenly.
Let packets rest for 3–5 minutes after grilling before opening to avoid steam burns and allow flavors to settle.

Substitutions

Smoked sausage → Italian sausage or andouille (adjust seasoning as these varieties have different salt profiles)
Red and green bell peppers → yellow or orange peppers, or a mix (flavor and color vary but cooking time stays the same)
Red potatoes → Yukon gold potatoes (slightly creamier texture; keep cubes small for even cooking)

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooled foil packet contents in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the grill wrapped in foil for 10 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat.
