Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Potatoes: Thoroughly wash and peel the potatoes. Dice them into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Assemble the Foil Packet: Lay out a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Arrange the diced potatoes in the center, creating an even layer. (Assembly time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Butter and Season: Dot the potatoes generously with the butter pats. Season liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If desired, sprinkle fresh herbs over the potatoes for an added layer of flavor. (Seasoning time: 3 minutes)

04

Step

Seal the Packet: Bring the long sides of the foil together and fold over several times to create a tight seal. Fold in the short sides to completely enclose the potatoes, creating a sealed packet. (Sealing time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Cook the Potatoes: Place the foil packet on a grill over medium heat or in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). (Start cooking time: 1 minute)

06

Step

Cook to Perfection: Cook for approximately 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Gently shake the packet occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. (Cooking time: 45-60 minutes)

07

Step

Serve: Carefully open the foil packet, being mindful of escaping steam. Gently stir the potatoes to coat them in the melted butter and seasonings. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Serving time: 2 minutes)

For enhanced flavor, consider browning the butter slightly before adding it to the potatoes.
Adding a clove of minced garlic to the butter will add a lovely aromatic element.
Ensure the foil packet is tightly sealed to trap steam and cook the potatoes evenly.
Cooking times may vary depending on the type of potato and the heat source. Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork.
Leftover butter potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave.
