Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F) or your oven to 400°F.
Thoroughly wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
Peel the onion and slice it into thin rings.
Lay out four large sheets of aluminum foil, each approximately 12x16 inches in size.
Divide the sliced potatoes and onions evenly across the four sheets of foil, placing them in the center of each sheet.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each portion of potatoes and onions.
Season each portion with 1/4 teaspoon of salt, a pinch of black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/8 teaspoon of paprika.
Place 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each portion of potatoes and onions.
Fold the foil packets by bringing the long edges together above the potatoes and folding them over twice to seal. Then fold in the short edges to create a completely sealed packet.
Place the foil packets on the grill or in the preheated oven. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through if using a grill, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden.
Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam), and garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
