- Clean the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes well with a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the foil packets: Leave some space between the potatoes and other ingredients in the foil packets so that they can cook properly.
- Seal the foil packets tightly: Make sure to seal the foil packets tightly so that the steam stays inside and the potatoes cook evenly.
- Cook the foil packets over indirect heat: If you are cooking the foil packets on a grill, place them over indirect heat so that they cook slowly and evenly.
- Let the foil packets rest before opening: After cooking, let the foil packets rest for a few minutes before opening so that the steam can redistribute and the potatoes can finish cooking.

Herbed potato packs are a delicious and easy way to cook potatoes. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
