Savory Cheese Potato Packets Recipes

EASY CHEESY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375˚F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• If using fresh potatoes, place in a saucepan with cold water. Simmer 12-14 minutes or until fork tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
• Melt butter, add sour cream, soup, onion and 1 ½ cups cheese.
• Toss in the potatoes (or frozen hash brown potatoes) and combine. Spread into a prepared baking dish.
• Top with remaining cheese and bake for 28-30 minutes or until browned and bubbly.

SAVORY GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Add potatoes and onion; toss gently to coat. Spoon onto a double thickness of greased heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Dot with butter. Fold foil around potato mixture and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat until potatoes are tender, turning once, 30-35 minutes.

GRILLED SAVORY CHEESE POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Spray 1 (18x18-inch) sheet of heavy-duty foil with cooking spray. Place potatoes on center of foil. Drizzle with dressing; mix gently. Sprinkle with cheese blend.
• Bring up 2 sides of foil over potatoes so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packet on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 20 to 25 minutes, rotating packet occasionally, until potatoes are tender. Place packet on serving platter. Cut large X across top of packet; carefully fold back foil. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

BAKED CHEESY SAMOSA PUFFS

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 400°. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender, 25-30 minutes. Drain potatoes and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Peel potatoes, then place in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth with some pea-size pieces remaining.
• Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Cook cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and asafetida, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add chile and ginger and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Stir in coriander, turmeric, and 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add potatoes and mix until spiced oil is thoroughly incorporated. Return potato mixture to bowl and let cool.
• Stir cheese, cilantro, lime juice, garam masala, and sugar into potato mixture. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Unfold puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut into eighteen 2½" squares. Roll out each square to about 4½", then divide between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
• Working one at a time, brush edges of pastry with egg. Spoon a heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture onto center of each square. Fold pastry in half by bringing one of the top corners up and over filling and matching it up with the opposite bottom corner to make a triangle. Pinch edges together to seal, then crimp with a fork. Brush tops with egg. Chill puffs 15 minutes.
• Bake puffs until pastry is golden brown and cheese is melted, 25-30 minutes. (Some cheese may ooze out and that is okay.)
• Serve puffs with ketchup, green chutney, or hot sauce for dipping.
