Instructions:
Step 1
Heat your grill to medium-high or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the sliced potatoes, onion, minced garlic, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Toss well to ensure the potatoes and onions are evenly coated.
Step 4
Tear off four large pieces of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long.
Step 5
Divide the potato mixture evenly among the foil pieces, placing it in the center of each.
Step 6
Fold the foil over the potatoes, sealing the edges tightly to create a packet.
Step 7
Place the packets directly on the grill or on a baking sheet if using the oven.
Step 8
Cook for 20-25 minutes on the grill or 30-35 minutes in the oven until the potatoes are tender.
Step 9
Carefully open one packet to check for doneness.
Step 10
Once cooked, carefully open the packets (beware of steam) and transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle with grated cheese, bacon, or fresh herbs for an extra flavor boost.
Quick Pro Tips for Perfect Potatoes Foil Packets:
Slice Evenly: Use a mandoline for uniform potato slices to ensure even cooking.
Double-Wrap: Consider double-wrapping the foil for extra security and to prevent leaks.
Crispy Finish: Open the foil in the last 5 minutes of cooking for crispy potatoes.
Check Early: Check doneness a few minutes before the estimated time to avoid overcooking.
Prep Ahead: Assemble packets in advance and refrigerate for easy meal prep.
