Foil Packet Potatoes and Onions
Simple, buttery, and full of flavor - these Foil Packet Potatoes are an easy side dish that can be tossed on the grill or baked in the oven. Perfect for busy weeknights, cookouts, or camping meals.
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby red potatoes washed and cut in half
- 2-3 onions sliced
- 1 stick butter sliced into pats
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Tear off two sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and lay them down in a criss-cross pattern on a flat surface.
- Place the halved baby red potatoes and sliced onions in the center of the foil.
- Evenly distribute the butter pats over the top of the potatoes and onions.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring up the sides of the foil and tightly seal the packet around the contents, ensuring it's fully closed to trap in heat and steam.
- To Grill: Place the foil packet on the top rack of a preheated grill. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until potatoes are fork tender.
- To Bake: Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350ºF oven for 1 hour, or until potatoes are fork tender.
- Carefully open the foil packet (watch for steam!) and serve hot.
Notes
- You can add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
- For extra crispy edges, open the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking or grilling.
- These packets can be made ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to cook.
