The Pioneer Womans Potato Bundles & {Ree, I Cant Wait to Meet You}

I love baked potatoes but they tend to get a bit boring after a while. We grilled chicken the other night and I wanted something different.
 

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.

 
start by cutting up the potatoes. Cut the potato into two slices lengthwise. Then turn it in the other direction and make one more slice down the middle. Last turn the potato slices and cut the other direction to create a large dice. Slice up the onions and cut into large chunks. Mince the parsley and set aside.


now it is time to start assembling the potato packets. I didn't have the foil packets so i just used regular foil and made my own packets. Toss on some 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.

OK 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.



There now you have a nice little packet.

place them on the baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes tender. Be careful when you open the packets because all the steam will escape and it will be hot.
