Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz smoked kielbasa sausage sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1.5 lbs baby Yukon gold potatoes halved (or quartered if large)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter 1 tablespoon per packet, cut into small pats
  • 3 tbsp spicy brown mustard or whole grain Dijon
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 4 sheets heavy-duty aluminum foil approximately 18x12 inches each
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) or preheat your oven to 400°F. Lay out four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 18x12 inches each) on a flat surface.
  • In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, sliced kielbasa, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated with the seasonings.
  • Divide the kielbasa and potato mixture evenly among the four foil sheets, piling it in the center of each sheet.
  • Dot each pile with 1 tablespoon of butter (cut into small pats) and drizzle or dollop approximately 3/4 tablespoon of spicy brown mustard over each portion.
  • Fold the foil over the filling, bringing the long sides up and rolling them down to seal tightly. Then fold and crimp both short ends to create a fully sealed packet with no gaps. For extra security, double-wrap each packet with a second sheet of foil.
  • GRILL METHOD: Place packets on the grill over medium-high heat. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through at the 10-12 minute mark, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the kielbasa is caramelized.
  • OVEN METHOD: Place packets on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes (no need to flip) until the potatoes are fully tender when pierced through the foil with a knife.
  • Remove packets from heat and let rest for 3-5 minutes before opening carefully — steam inside is very hot. Open away from your face, peeling back the foil slowly.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve directly from the foil, or slide contents onto plates. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

MAKE AHEAD: Assemble packets up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate flat on a sheet pan. Add 3-5 minutes to cook time when cooking from cold. STORAGE: Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of broth over medium heat. VARIATIONS: Add sliced bell peppers, onions, or corn rounds to the packets. Swap spicy mustard for honey Dijon for a sweeter profile. POTATO TIP: For guaranteed tender potatoes, microwave the halved potatoes for 3-4 minutes before assembling the packets.
