Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 sheet roll Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Dice them into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Tear off large sheets of aluminum foil (enough to wrap the potatoes completely). Lay the aluminum foil flat and place half of the seasoned potatoes in the center of each sheet (prepare two foil packets for even cooking).
Top the potatoes in each packet with 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces, and sprinkle with half the chopped parsley.
Fold the aluminum foil over the potatoes, crimping the edges tightly to seal the packets completely.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown. Carefully open the packets to release the steam, and check for doneness by piercing a potato cube with a fork—it should slide in easily.
Transfer the cooked potatoes to a serving bowl or plate, and garnish with the remaining fresh parsley for extra color and flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy!
