Roasted Potatoes In Foil Recipes

ROASTED POTATOES IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place the foil pieces on a work surface.
• Add about ½ tbsp of oil down the middle (lengthwise) of each piece of foil. Add ¼ cup of onions over the oil on each piece of foil. Add half of each cubed potato over the onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat this process, adding a little more (approx. 1 tsp) of oil over the top.
• Bring the edges from the long side of each foil piece together and pinch to form a seal. Fold in the ends and place on a baking sheet.
• Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Test a piece of cooked potato to ensure they are very soft and tender. If not fully cooked, add back into the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes.
• Serve in the foil packet, or carefully transfer onto individual plates or serving platter.

GRILLED POTATOES IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat; close cover. Lay out three 18-inch long pieces of aluminum foil on a work surface, dull side facing up.
• Smear 1/2 tablespoon butter in the middle of the first piece of foil. Add 1/3 of the potato slices, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the garlic powder; season with salt and pepper. Fold up the edges of the foil over the vegetables to create an almost leak-proof packet, making sure to seal the edges. Repeat with last 2 pieces of foil and the remaining ingredients to make 2 more packets.
• Reduce the heat of the grill to medium. Place foil packets on the grate; cook until potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

TIN FOIL RED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Slice red potatoes so they are about an 1/2 inch thick.*.
• Chop onions into large peices.
• Put the olive oil into a bowl.
• Put all of the onions and potatoes into the bowl with olive oil.
• Stir the veggies (preferably with a slotted spoon) until they are all equally coated with olive oil.
• Take the cookie sheet and place some tin foil on the sheet.
• Make a cross with two sheets of tin foil on the foil covered cookie sheet (make sure you have enough foil to create a pouch for your potatoes and onions).
• **I think Reynolds sells pre made aluminum foil pouches -- I didn't have them handy but my homemade pouch worked fine.**.
• Transfer the onions and potatoes to the center of the tin foil cross, making sure to drain the excess olive oil (why the slotted spoon comes in handy!).
• When you have all the veggies in the middle sprinkle your seasoning mixture on the potatoes, putting as much on as you like.
• After seasoning, take all four sides of the tin foil cross and bring them up and into the center, making a little pouch for the potatoes and onions to cook inches.
• Place in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.
• Potatoes will be done when you can stick a fork through a potato without resistance.
• *Adjust cooking time to fit the size of the potatoes you want.

SMOKED POTATOES IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat smoker to 225 F.
• Rinse and dry potatoes. Cut your potatoes in 1-inch sized cubes.
• Combine the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss to coat all the potatoes.
• Place the potatoes on some foil and fold in each side to make some handles. The foil also helps to easily transfer the potatoes to the smoker.
• Smoke the potatoes for up to 2 to 3 hours. Potatoes can be smoked alongside whatever meat you are smoking.
• Potatoes are done when they can be pierced easily to the center.

TERRIFIC TIN-FOIL POTATOES

Steps:

• Pull off two large sheets of heavy duty foil.
• Attach them together along wide edge, by making a"seam" in the middle (put edges together and fold over at least twice), so that you have one large sheet.
• Slice potatoes approximately 1/4" thick.
• (Peel, or not- up to you).
• Place in center of tin-foil.
• Slice onions and red pepper and pile on top of potatoes.
• Sprinkle the minced garlic, soup mix, thyme, and salt and pepper over the piled veggies.
• Dot with cubes of butter.
• Wrap tightly in the tin-foil, and cook on the grill about 30-45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• (You may want to place foil packet on top of one more sheet of foil just to make sure it doesn't burn- depends on how hot the grill is!).
• You can also bake in the oven at 375 for 45 minutes.
• (Place on a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet for support).

CHEESE-TOPPED POTATOES IN FOIL

Steps:

• Prepare campfire or grill for medium heat. In a large bowl, toss potatoes with onion, bacon, butter, salt and pepper. Place on a large piece of greased heavy-duty foil (about 36x12-in. rectangle). Fold foil around potatoes, sealing tightly., Cook on campfire or in covered grill until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes per side. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape; place cheese over potatoes. Cook until cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. If desired, serve with sour cream.

FOIL PACK POTATOES ON THE GRILL OR OVEN

• Preheat the grill to medium, or oven to 400°F. Cut 1.5 lbs. baby potatoes into bite sized pieces, then place in a bowl and mix with 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 Tbsp. dried rosemary, a pinch of sea salt and pepper, and 7 whole garlic cloves or powdered garlic.
• Transfer the potatoes to a piece of foil, around 28 inches in length. Bunch the potatoes in the middle of the foil. Place 3 sprigs of thyme or dried thyme and 1 Tbsp. cubed butter on top of the potatoes.Bring the edges of the foil together and wrap, tightly sealing all the way around. If the foil isn't long enough to wrap properly, then double wrap with second piece of foil in the opposite direction.
• Place the foil directly onto the grill or, if roasting, place on a tray before putting in the oven.Grill or roast for 40 minutes, then remove from the grill or oven and open up the foil. Remove the thyme and add in the rest of the butter and season again, then return to the grill or oven with the foil open and cook for a further 15 minutes or until golden brown.Top with parsley (optional) , and enjoy!
