A simple and delicious way to prepare potatoes with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
- Potatoes, sliced or cubed
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: minced garlic, herbs (like rosemary or thyme), grated cheese, chopped onions
Instructions
- Prepare Foil Packets: Tear off sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap around the potatoes.
- Season Potatoes: Place the sliced or cubed potatoes in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and any optional ingredients you choose. Toss to coat evenly.
- Assemble Packets: Divide the seasoned potatoes among the foil sheets, placing them in the center.
- Wrap Foil: Fold the foil over the potatoes, sealing the edges tightly to create packets.
- Cooking Methods:
- Grill Method: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the foil packets directly on the grill grates and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until potatoes are tender.
- Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Campfire Method: Place foil packets on hot coals or grill rack over a campfire. Cook for approximately 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until potatoes are cooked through.
- Serve: Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam), and transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with additional herbs or cheese if desired. Enjoy your easy and flavorful potato foil packets!
