I remembered a recipe over at The Pioneer Woman's site. Ree made these awesome little Potato Bundles. All the ingredients she used were my kind things. Potatoes, onions, butter, cream, parsley um mm how could you go wrong adding cream.
I was so excited to get all the potatoes diced up and in the packets. My husband grilled the chicken and I manned the potatoes. The only thing I did different then the recipe stated was use margarine in place of butter.
I didn't have any more butter in the house, can you believe that. Thank goodness Paula wasn't coming over for dinner, she probably would of gasped at just the thought of me using margarine. But that was that's the only change I made.
I have to say these were the best tasting potatoes I have had in a long time. So tender and all those buttery onions um for goodness sakes I was in heaven. I served these potatoes with my Honey Lime Grilled Chicken recipe.
These potatoes would
be great served with any grilled chicken, fish or steak recipe. You
must try these potatoes they were excellent and everyone got their own
little packet.
Ree I'm coming to see you girl and I cant wait, December 1st cant get here fast enough. I am so syked to finally meet you on your Book Tour stop in Dallas.

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.
Potato Bundles
Russet potatoes, cut into cubes (one potato per person)
Yellow or white onion, cut into chunks
Butter, unsalted)
Heavy cream
Kosher salt
Paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced parsley
Pile cubed potatoes and onions on a square piece of foil. Add 2 tablespoons butter, splash on some cream, sprinkle on salt, paprika, and black pepper.
Wrap bundles tightly and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, or until extremely tender. Serve foil bundles right on the plate!

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.
I will be trying these potatoes this weekend. Yummmm.
These look delicious! I'm so envious that you're going to meet the Pioneer Woman! I wish she were coming to my area on her tour!
How simple and easy!! I'm always looking for a new way with potatoes! I'm going to have to try this - my husband would love them!
Congrats on getting to meet Ree! How fun :) I make these on the grill and they are great.
I've made potato bundlrs but I've never added cream; I'll have to try that!
Just dropped by from SITS to say hi; hope you'll do the same.
I read your post this morning and made these for dinner tonight! They were really good. I will for sure make them again!
I enjoy your blog very much and have been following for awhile. I've nominated you for the KREATIV BLOGGER award. Please see this post for details http://moltodimodadesigns.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-very-first-blog-award-nomination.html
Hi, stopping by from SITS! :)
Those look tasty! Such a neat twist on an old standard.
yum. I always love a new idea for potatos! Love Pioneer Woman too...stopping by from SITS!
Delicious. I love the Pioneer Woman. Can't wait to get her cookbook.
My Daughter turned me on to your site....I am an old woman now...I used to cook all of the time and never watch the food channel...now I watch all of those food things and cook very little...I stole a post from you I hope you do not mind....Yours is just the best site...thank you..
Morning! I love your blog, stole your button, and will be keeping my eye on your awesomeness! <3 Maria
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!
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.
