Wash and peel the russet and sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes. Leave the skin on the baby red potatoes and cut them into halves.
Preheat the grill to medium heat (around 375°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed and halved potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss again to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Lay out two large sheets of aluminum foil on a flat work surface. Place half of the seasoned potatoes in the center of each sheet.
Dot the top of the potatoes in each packet with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, broken into small pieces.
Fold the sides of the aluminum foil over the potatoes to create a sealed packet, making sure there are no gaps for steam to escape.
Place the foil packets on the preheated grill and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
Carefully remove the packets from the grill using tongs and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before opening.
Serve the potatoes straight from the foil packets or transfer them to a serving dish. Enjoy!
