I don't mind precooking but pots and pans on our grill is a PITA.

Sometimes I make a foil wrapped veggie packet with sliced potatoes. No pans to wash up later. Just slice the potatoes, add a little chopped onion or scallions, seasoning and a few pats of butter and wrap into a foil "pillow". Or I do mixed veggies that way too, summer squash, carrots,beans ...whatever. The moisture from the veggies steams them and the butter, well, there is nothing like a little butter for flavor. Tasty, and actually fairly low cal.
As for the home fries, I have good luck using left over baked potatoes. Ditto for the bacon fat, but I have also used olive oil and a little.......butter.
