Cheesy, flavorful potatoes that are cooked in tin foil, create an easy to clean up side dish!! Perfect for any BBQ or gathering, these potatoes are tender, and a favorite with everyone!
Living here in Houston, Texas, my family loves to grill. Not only does it help keep the house cool, but it cuts down on messes, as well as clean up duty!
Last week, my hubby grilled some steaks for dinner. Since nothing pairs better with steak than potatoes, I decided to create these foil packets and have him add them to the grill. My kiddos were big fan of the cheese in these, whereas I was a fan of the onion especially. All the flavors created a perfect side dish and dinner was fabulous!
Clean up is a breeze since all you have to do is package up the leftovers, if there are any, and simply toss the tin foil into the garbage! Score!!
From my family to yours, hope you enjoy!!

YOU ARE USING ALUMINUM FOIL—
NOT “TIN FOIL”—
Kristin
Hehe, sorry about that, I grew up calling it tin foil. Yes, you are right however, it is aluminum foil!
Denise
Can these be made in oven in packets, what temp and how long?
Kristin
For sure! I would say 350 degrees and cook for about 45 minutes to an hour. Check on them afterwards and if not quite done, add an additional 15 minutes! Enjoy!

Ok, I’ve been reading the comments of a lot of your recipes and have read some ugly remarks but seriously…Gordon M. Johanson… are you seriously correcting the use of tin foil, and in all caps? That is ridiculous!! Kristin, kudos to you for keeping your comments sweet and pleasant, in the midst of all these self-righteous comments from people who have nothing better to do than correct insignificant postings. It lights me up!!
Kristin
