Garlic foil potatoes

Garlic foil potatoes are a simple yet delicious side dish that can complement any meal. The combination of buttery, garlicky flavor makes these potatoes irresistible. They are easy to prepare and can be cooked on the grill or in the oven. Perfect for a family gathering or a casual dinner, this recipe requires minimal ingredients and effort, but delivers maximum flavor.

Ingredients:

4 potatoes
850g
4 tbsp butter
54g
4 tsp garlic powder
12g
2 tsp salt
12g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot and ready by the time you finish preparing the potatoes.
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Cut each potato into large chunks (about 1-inch pieces) to ensure they cook evenly.
3. Season the Potatoes:
- Place the potato chunks in a large bowl.
- Add the garlic powder and salt to the bowl, and toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated.
4. Prepare the Foil Packets:
- Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long.
- Place one tablespoon of butter in the center of each foil sheet.
- Evenly distribute the seasoned potato chunks among the four foil sheets, placing them on top of the butter.
5. Seal the Foil Packets:
- Fold the long sides of the foil over the potatoes, then fold up the shorter sides to create a sealed packet. Ensure it's tightly sealed but leave some space inside for steam to circulate.
6. Bake the Potatoes:
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. You can check by carefully opening one of the packets and poking a potato chunk with a fork; it should go through easily.
7. Serve:
- Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam) and transfer the potatoes to a serving dish or serve directly from the packets for a rustic presentation.
8. Optional Garnish:
- For added flavor and presentation, you can sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley or chives on top before serving.

Tips:

- Choose potatoes of similar size to ensure even cooking.

- You can add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for an extra layer of flavor.

- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, consider using fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder.

- To avoid sticking, make sure the butter is well-distributed over the potatoes.

- For a crispier texture, open the foil packets for the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Enjoy your perfectly cooked garlic foil potatoes as a side dish to your favorite main course. This easy-to-follow recipe ensures that you get flavorful and tender potatoes every time. Whether you're hosting a barbecue or preparing a weeknight dinner, these garlic foil potatoes are sure to be a hit.
