Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional)
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch in size.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the potatoes.
Lay out the four sheets of aluminum foil. Divide the seasoned potatoes evenly among the sheets, placing them in the center of each one.
Place ½ tablespoon of butter on top of each portion of potatoes.
Carefully fold the edges of the foil up and over the potatoes, crimping the edges to seal each packet tightly. Make sure no steam can escape during cooking.
Place the packets on a baking sheet if cooking in the oven, or directly on the grate if grilling. Cook for 30-35 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for hot steam!) and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite main course.
