Chicken on the grill (works for taters too).
The basics: Olive oil, lemon juice (juice from real lemons), garlic and whatever spices/herbs you want!
The way it usually works. Fire up the coals. Clean the taters, fork'm (poke holes). Put them on the grill and start painting them with the oil/juice/spice mix. Once they're starting to cook you add the chicken. Paint'm with the mix. It's best to cook with a beer in hand 'cause the olive oil tends to flair. Check'm, paint'm. turn'm, paint'm. Keep painting the oil/juice/spice mix onto the taters and chicken.
When done, you have melt away tender chicken and whole taters that need no help. Perfect the way they are; no butter, no cream ... perfect.
Corn? Soak them in the sink with the husk, salt heavily and steam them in the husk on the grill.
Garlic bread? Good Italian or French bread with raw galic, hot
peppers and olive oil. Only toast one side.
Desert? Apples ...
