Categories     Potato

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large potatoes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion
1 red bell pepper
1 teaspoon thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
5/8 ounce package dry onion soup mix (more or less, to your taste)
4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
salt and pepper

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).

TIN FOIL RED POTATOES AND ONIONS



Tin Foil Red Potatoes and Onions image

My uncle uses a tin foil pouch and fills it with potatoes, onions, and adobo seasoning...then he cooks it on the grill. I used the tin foil part of his recipe and used an oven and different seasoning instead. Please be careful when opening up the tin foil when it comes out of the oven. Steam shoots out!

Time 45m

Yield 3 cups, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 red potatoes
1 medium white onion
2 tablespoons olive oil (or enough to evenly coat all onions and potatoes)
all purpose Greek seasoning (I found it at walmart...rosemary, oregano, and thyme work well too)
3 sheets aluminum foil
cookie baking sheet

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use small, waxy potatoes such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. These potatoes hold their shape well and will become tender when cooked.
  • Scrub the potatoes thoroughly: Before cooking, scrub the potatoes well to remove any dirt or debris. You can use a vegetable brush or a clean cloth to do this.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes: Slicing the potatoes evenly will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • Season the potatoes generously: Don't be afraid to season the potatoes well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme.
  • Wrap the potatoes tightly in foil: To ensure that the potatoes cook evenly, wrap them tightly in foil. You can use a single large piece of foil or individual pieces for each potato.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes. For 1/2-inch thick slices, cook the potatoes for 30-45 minutes. You can check the potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork into the center. If the fork goes in easily, the potatoes are done.

Conclusion:

Seasoned potatoes in foil are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for special occasions. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give seasoned potatoes in foil a try.
