  • “I went to make this and only had russett potatoes.I remembered having it this way as a kid.It worked perfectly and you about have to try to mess it up.Timeless recipe, thanks for sharing.”

  • “Wonderful and different way to serve potatoes. Makes a very pretty side dish. We loved it with this amazing steak recipe “Recipe #294838″. I just wrapped them in one layer of foil and baked them at 350 degrees about 45 minutes. Thank you for posting this and now I have it tucked safely into my side dish cookbook!”

  • “I knew I’d love these!I used garlic salt & pepper and about a TBSP of shredded Parmesan on each.Terrific!Thanks for posting this!”

  • “These were so so so good!! I didn’t want to go out and cook on the grill so I just cooked them in the oven. They were just as good. I just had to cook them for 1 hour and 15 min, and they were perfect. This is one of our new favorites!”

  • “I made these for dinner last night to go along with beer-can chicken.These were perfect fit for a hot summer night.The chicken was on the grill on in-direct heat while the potatoes were over the direct heat.I loved the onion sandwiched between the potatoes.Great recipe, thanks for posting!!!”

  • “These were very nice and a little different. Usually I cut up potatoes and onions and grill them in foil with a little olive oil or butter and some herbs. I think the flavours meld better that way, but this made a very nice presentation.”

  • “This was very tasty.I thought they would have had to go on the grill ofr an hour, but were perfect at 45 min. They were very tender.Thanks!”

  • “I used Yukon Gold potatoes and sweet onions.I think next time I will add some garlic and more spices.I threw the potato packets on the grill for about 60 minutes, perfectly cooked.Yum!”

  • “What a easy way to get a great tasting potatoe on the grill. I used russet potatoes and garlic pepper salt and they turned out great. My DH asked for more but I had made enough for all of us to have one. So next time I will have to throw a extra on for him. Thanks for the recipe.”
