Terrific Tin Foil Potatoes Recipes

FOIL POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Lay out 4 squares of aluminum foil on the counter. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and place onto a square of aluminum foil. Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter onto the cut side of each half, then season with garlic powder and salt. Close the potato halves together, and wrap tightly in the aluminum foil.
• Bake potatoes directly on the oven rack for 40 minutes, or until tender.

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.
