POTATO PACKETS



Potato Packets image

This is a recipe that I have had for years. I originally got it off of a Lipton Soup Mix box and changed a bit. I like red potatoes the best but any can be used. I also add chopped carrots if I have them on hand. Originally designed for grill, I have cooked them in the oven in packets on a cookie sheet.

BARBEQUED POTATO AND GARLIC SCAPE PACKETS



Barbequed Potato and Garlic Scape Packets image

A basic barbecued potato dish takes on a delicious twist thanks to garlic scapes, the flower stalks of the garlic plant. My family absolutely flipped over these potatoes so I take advantage whenever scapes are available. The garlic scapes add a wonderful garlic flavor to the potatoes without being overpowering and they almost have the consistency of young asparagus stalks. The texture of the potatoes and the scapes is interesting and makes a satisfying side dish to any early summer barbecue.

EASY SALMON AND POTATO FOIL PACKETS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



EASY SALMON AND POTATO FOIL PACKETS Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Nanasjoy

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium potato, sliced into very thin rounds about 1/16th-inch thick, divided
4 about 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
salt and pepper to taste, divided
2 salmon filets, about 6 ounces each
1 large orange, halved
1 lemon, halved

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.

FOIL POTATO PACKETS



Foil Potato Packets image

This is such a hit with everyone in our family. You can do it in the oven or on a grill. Either way, the potatoes come out perfectly done with such a great flavor!

Provided by Brandie S.

Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large russet potatoes
2 clove garlic, minced
4 Tbsp butter
1/3 c heavy cream
salt pinch (to taste)
pepper pinch (to taste)
1/2 medium onion, diced (optional)

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 firm, thin-skinned potatoes for the best results.
  • Use a variety of seasonings to add flavor to your potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion

Potato packets are a delicious and easy way to cook potatoes. They are perfect for a quick and easy meal, or as a side dish for a larger meal. With a variety of seasonings and fillings to choose from, there is a potato packet recipe for everyone. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook potatoes, give potato packets a try.
