Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium. Toss the kielbasa, sweet potatoes, onion, celery, apricots and 4 thyme sprigs in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Drizzle with 1/4 cup orange juice and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Tear off four 24-inch sheets of foil and fold each in half. Pile the kielbasa mixture on one side of each foil sheet. Fold the foil over and crimp the edges to seal well. Grill the packets, rotating them occasionally so they don't burn, until the vegetables are tender, 18 to 22 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the vinegar with the remaining 1 cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 thyme sprigs in a medium skillet; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook until syrupy and reduced to about 3 tablespoons, 5 to 7 minutes. Discard the thyme. Open the foil packets, drizzle with the sauce and sprinkle with celery leaves.
EASY SALMON AND POTATO FOIL PACKETS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F. To a 12-inch long sheet of foil (I use Reynold's Heavy Duty Non-Stick), add half the potato slices in a pile in the center of foil. Slightly fan out the potatoes so air can circulate. Make sure potatoes are sliced very thin so they cook through in the same amount of time it takes the salmon to cook. Evenly drizzle the potatoes with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and repeat process with another sheet of foil and the remaining potato slices. Top each pile of potatoes with 1 salmon filet. Evenly drizzle each salmon filet with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Squeeze half the juice of the orange over one salmon filet and half the juice over the other filet. Squeeze half the juice of the lemon over one salmon filet and half the juice over the other filet. Season each salmon filet with salt and pepper. Seal foil packets, making sure to tightly crimp the seams so the olive oil and citrus juices don't leak. Place packets on baking sheet and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Carefully open one packet to check for doneness of both salmon and potatoes and if necessary, return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until done.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F)(or your grill) Give your potatoes a good scrub with a paper towel or rinse them off a bit and dry. Dice potatoes into cubes. Leaving the skin on. You're gonna need 4 sheets of aluminum foil squares to make the packets. On each of the four squares, place 1 tbsp. of butter (or more if you like). Divide up the cubed potatoes and place on top of the butter on each aluminum foil square. Evenly sprinkle minced garlic over each of the four servings (also, add onion if you're using). Then sprinkle with kosher salt & pepper. Pour a bit of the heavy cream onto each of the potato packets. Evenly distribute the cream as best you can. Feel free to add a bit more cream as necessary. You may need to fold up the sides just a bit to keep the cream from drizzling off the edges. Fold up each of the sides to make a nice little bed for the potatoes, making a square. Long sides come in first then short sides. So none of the butter and cream can escape while cooking. Place potato packets on a baking sheet and cook for about 45 minutes (until fork tender). *If cooking on a grill, cook for about 35-45 minutes but check them at the 30 minute mark in case your grill runs hot. Be careful when opening the packets because the steam is gonna come outta there fast and furious. Now dig in!
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for foil packets, as they are starchy and hold their shape well. Yukon Gold and red potatoes can also be used, but they may break down more easily.
- Scrub the potatoes well: This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the potatoes.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork: This will help the potatoes to cook evenly.
- Season the potatoes generously: Use a variety of herbs and spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
- Add some moisture to the packets: This will help to prevent the potatoes from drying out. You can use water, broth, or olive oil.
- Seal the packets tightly: This will help to keep the steam and flavors inside the packets.
- Cook the packets over medium heat: This will help to prevent the potatoes from burning.
- Let the packets rest for a few minutes before opening: This will help the potatoes to finish cooking and absorb the flavors.
Conclusion:
