  • Use a heavy-duty aluminum foil: This will prevent the foil from tearing and ensure that the potatoes cook evenly.
  • Add some aromatics: To enhance the flavor of the potatoes, add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or sage, as well as butter or olive oil.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Check the potatoes regularly: Use a fork to check if the potatoes are tender. They are done when they are easily pierced.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Once the potatoes are cooked, serve them immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, cheese, or bacon.
