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.

These look beautiful. I just love potatoes more than anything. I make a similar version and it's just amazing. So simple and tasty.

So are you meeting PW on her book tour?

Looks so good! Have you gotten a copy of Pioneer Woman's cookbook? IT IS AWESOME! I have tons of cookbooks and this is my very favorite. Not necessarily because of the recipes but the pictures, stories and layout of the book. Recipes are great too!

These look scrumptious!! I've been in a rut with potatoes lately and these are perfect to change things up a bit and the kids will love opening their very own packets!
Yummmm! I'm so jealous that you're going to see her! She's not even anywhere close to coming over here to our neck of the woods :( My birthday is coming up in 3 weeks, so I may request her cookbook as a gift :)

I dont have the cookbook yet. Usually at the book signings you will need to purchase the book from the book store. I saw it at Walmart and just camped out in the isle looking at it. My dd told me cmon mom your gonna see her soon and you can read the book then. Kids they just dont get it sometimes. My dd said is that the lady that has the punks? are they coming? I told I am not sure they were at one of the signings so maybe we will see.

Oh my gosh, you are going to meet the pioneer woman!! I'm SO jealous- I've made a ton of her things and they are always so good.. The apple dumplings are to die for (but you may have a heart attack after eating them) and the cauliflower soup is a staple in our house!
Unknown said…
I made these yesterday, they were very yummy! Thank you

Cant wait to try these. I make a similar version, but right before they are ready to serve, I open them up, throw a little shredded chedder cheese on them and close it back up so it can melt (but without the cream). But I love cooking with heavy whipping cream it makes everything so much better, so I am looking forward to making these.

Well I did a spin on this as I didn't have enough potatoes and live too far from town to run and fetch them. I added parsnips which was a big hit. Thanks for the recipe!!!!!

I do something like this! in the foil with the potatoes I add a boneless skinless chicken breast also add slices of onion and green pepper and a tablespoon of butter or margarine and any favorite seasons. I call them HOBO Meals. My Family Loves them.
