This is one of those throw-it-in-and-forget-about-it kind of sides! The end result is a creamy/crispy/flavorful side dish that goes with just about anything (we had ours with steaks). Feel free to experiment with the spices and pouch contents! Some ideas using the same process:

• Sweet Potatoes with cinnamon & brown sugar
• Yukon gold potatoes with parsley
• Russets with bacon in the pouch!

Potato Pouches – serves 4

• 4-5 Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and dried
• 3 Tbs unsalted butter
• 2 cloves freshly crushed garlic
• 1/2 tsp each dried herbs – rosemary, thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Nonstick cooking spray
• Aluminum foil

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Slice potatoes about 1/4″ thick.
3. Line a sheet pan with a full sheet of foil, spray with cooking spray.
4. Place potatoes and garlic in the center of the foil and sprinkle with herbs, salt and pepper.
5. Cut up butter and place on top of potatoes.
6. Tear a second piece of foil and place on top of potatoes. Bring up sides and cinch together to make a sealed pouch.
7. Bake for 35 minutes (or 20-30 mins, flipping every 15 mins, on a hot grill).
