POTATO PACKETS
This is a recipe that I have had for years. I originally got it off of a Lipton Soup Mix box and changed a bit. I like red potatoes the best but any can be used. I also add chopped carrots if I have them on hand. Originally designed for grill, I have cooked them in the oven in packets on a cookie sheet.

BARBEQUED POTATO AND GARLIC SCAPE PACKETS
A basic barbecued potato dish takes on a delicious twist thanks to garlic scapes, the flower stalks of the garlic plant. My family absolutely flipped over these potatoes so I take advantage whenever scapes are available. The garlic scapes add a wonderful garlic flavor to the potatoes without being overpowering and they almost have the consistency of young asparagus stalks. The texture of the potatoes and the scapes is interesting and makes a satisfying side dish to any early summer barbecue.

EASY SALMON AND POTATO FOIL PACKETS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F. To a 12-inch long sheet of foil (I use Reynold's Heavy Duty Non-Stick), add half the potato slices in a pile in the center of foil. Slightly fan out the potatoes so air can circulate. Make sure potatoes are sliced very thin so they cook through in the same amount of time it takes the salmon to cook. Evenly drizzle the potatoes with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and repeat process with another sheet of foil and the remaining potato slices. Top each pile of potatoes with 1 salmon filet. Evenly drizzle each salmon filet with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Squeeze half the juice of the orange over one salmon filet and half the juice over the other filet. Squeeze half the juice of the lemon over one salmon filet and half the juice over the other filet. Season each salmon filet with salt and pepper. Seal foil packets, making sure to tightly crimp the seams so the olive oil and citrus juices don't leak. Place packets on baking sheet and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Carefully open one packet to check for doneness of both salmon and potatoes and if necessary, return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until done.
BAKED POTATO PACKETS
My family, especially my husband, loves lots of flavor with his potatoes. We were getting bored with the same old baked potatoes. So we started doing this with them and they are fantastic. I put measurements for the seasonings, but I always just use a pinch or two of them. It's all according to taste.

FOIL POTATO PACKETS
This is such a hit with everyone in our family. You can do it in the oven or on a grill. Either way, the potatoes come out perfectly done with such a great flavor!

Categories Potatoes
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F)(or your grill) Give your potatoes a good scrub with a paper towel or rinse them off a bit and dry. Dice potatoes into cubes. Leaving the skin on. You're gonna need 4 sheets of aluminum foil squares to make the packets. On each of the four squares, place 1 tbsp. of butter (or more if you like). Divide up the cubed potatoes and place on top of the butter on each aluminum foil square. Evenly sprinkle minced garlic over each of the four servings (also, add onion if you're using). Then sprinkle with kosher salt & pepper. Pour a bit of the heavy cream onto each of the potato packets. Evenly distribute the cream as best you can. Feel free to add a bit more cream as necessary. You may need to fold up the sides just a bit to keep the cream from drizzling off the edges. Fold up each of the sides to make a nice little bed for the potatoes, making a square. Long sides come in first then short sides. So none of the butter and cream can escape while cooking. Place potato packets on a baking sheet and cook for about 45 minutes (until fork tender). *If cooking on a grill, cook for about 35-45 minutes but check them at the 30 minute mark in case your grill runs hot. Be careful when opening the packets because the steam is gonna come outta there fast and furious. Now dig in!
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or baby potatoes hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart during cooking.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder for a classic flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Any type of vegetable can be used in potato packets, so feel free to get creative. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and peppers.
- Don't overcrowd the packets: Leave some space for the vegetables to steam and cook evenly.
- Seal the packets tightly: This will help to keep the steam and flavor inside the packets.
- Cook the packets until the potatoes are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of potatoes and vegetables you are using.
Conclusion:
Potato packets are a delicious and easy way to cook potatoes and vegetables. They are perfect for a quick and healthy meal, and they can be easily customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of potato packets that are sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give potato packets a try!
