Prepare and Grill Packets
Start by heating your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick brush with oil to keep things from sticking. Tear off six pieces of aluminum foil, each about 18 inches long, and set them aside. In a big bowl, toss the potatoes and garlic scapes with a good drizzle of olive oil, then season everything well with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture evenly onto the center of each foil piece, then fold up the edges to create sealed packets. Place the foil pouches on the grill, close the lid, and let them cook for about 20 to 25 minutes. Be sure to turn the packets halfway through so they cook evenly. You'll know they're done when the potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork.
