How to Make Packet Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) or preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Spray a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Place 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced, in the center of the foil.
  4. Evenly layer 2 lbs small red potatoes, halved or quartered if large, on top of the onion.
  5. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  6. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. (Adjust seasonings to your preference!)
  7. Bring up the sides of the foil and double-fold to create a tight seal.
  8. Double-fold the ends to completely close the packet, leaving some space for steam circulation.
  9. **Oven:** Bake on a cookie sheet for 30-35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  10. **Grill:** Grill for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender, turning occasionally for even cooking. Keep the lid closed as much as possible.
