Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot and ready by the time you finish preparing 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
