Oven Baked or Grilled Potato Bundles

Individual packets of diced potatoes, butter, cream and spices. These potato packets pair perfectly with any grilled chicken, fish or steak recipe.

I love baked potatoes but they tend to get a bit boring tima and time again. We grilled chicken the other night and I remembered seeing a recipe for grilled potato bundles from the Pioneer Woman. All the ingredients she used were right up my alley. Potatoes, onions, butter, cream and parsley... Yum how could you go wrong adding cream.

 

My husband grilled the chicken and I handled the potatoes. I have to say they were easy to thrown together and they were the best tasting potatoes I have had in a long time. Tender, buttery and all those onions. I served the potato bundles with my Honey Lime Grilled Chicken and a vegetable.

These potatoes would be great served with any grilled chicken, fish or steak recipe. You can bake these packets in the oven or cook them on your outdoor grill. Everyone loved their own individual potato packets.  
 

Start by cutting up the potatoes into one inch cubes.  Slice up the onions and cut into large chunks. Mince the parsley or use dried and set aside.

Now let's assemble the potato packets. I didn't have the foil packets so i just used regular foil and made my own packets. Toss the potatoes in the middle of the foil,

Add the onions, how ever much you want. I love onions so I use a lot. Sprinkle on some paprika and kosher salt. Add the cream, not a lot just enough to give it a rich creamy flavor.  The add some parsley. I left that out in some of the packets since the kids are not big on green stuff on their potatoes. Sprinkle the pepper on last and add bacon bits if using. 

Now it is time to make a little packet for the potatoes to cook in. Bring up the sides of the foil together and then roll them down towards the center of the foil. See above. Roll each of the sides towards the center the same way. Make sure they are sealed up tightly.

Place the packets on the baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes tender. If you would like to cook these on and outdoor grill, see the cooks note at the end of this post. Be careful when you open the packets because all the steam will escape and it will be hot.
