For those of you who have an instant pot, it makes this dish so easy. You can pre cook the corn and the potatoes in the instant pot in minutes and then they are ready for the grill.
I like to serve this meal on a wood board lined with paper and just let everyone eat with their hands. You want to have some good bread grilled so that you can mop up all the delicious flavors.
