Barbecued Foil-Wrapped Potatoes

Summer time and the living is easy! Our meals should follow that same mantra, which is why keeping the oven off and firing up the barbecue makes so much sense. Plus, everything seems to taste a little bit better when it is cooked outside on a grill. It can even turn a simple potato into …
