Foil Wrapped Baby 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.

FOIL-WRAPPED BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• If your barbecue hasn't already been heated, light and heat until the ashes turn grey. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan of cold water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, cook for 5 mins until slightly tender.
• Drain and leave to steam-dry for 2 mins. Transfer to a large sheet of foil, coat in the olive oil and season well. Make sure the potatoes are sitting flat against the foil so each one gets charred when grilled. Wrap in the foil like a parcel, and wrap again to ensure the potatoes are completely covered. Cook on the barbecue for 10 mins.
• Check they are cooked by inserting a skewer into one of the potatoes. Carefully remove from the foil and serve in a dish.

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.

TERRIFIC TIN-FOIL POTATOES

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).
