How long do sausage and veggie foil packets take to cook?
About 20–25 minutes on a medium-hot grill, depending on your heat and potato thickness. Packets are done when potatoes are fork-tender.
Can I make foil packets ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble packets, wrap well, and refrigerate up to 12 hours before grilling. Add 2–3 minutes to cooking time if starting cold.
What can I substitute for smoked sausage?
Try kielbasa, andouille, Italian sausage, or chicken sausage. Adjust seasoning to taste, as sausage varieties differ in saltiness.
Can I cook these in the oven instead?
Yes. Bake at 400°F for 25–30 minutes until potatoes are tender. Oven method produces slightly less charred flavor than grilling.
How do I know when the potatoes are done?
Pierce a foil packet carefully with a fork or knife tip. Potatoes should slide off with no resistance.
