Too easy to make as a side dish when doing chicken in the oven. Also really easy to change to your family's preference. I usually add garlic and Parmesan cheese.

I make these all the time when we go camping, adding chopped onions and garlic as well as red and green peppers, and wrap in several layers of foil. I, too, use EVOO instead of butter, and they still get carmelized and crispy over the campfire. Yum!

I have been doing this for years. However, that seems like a lot of butter, and I love butter. I probably use about half of that amount. I also add garlic salt (instead of regular salt) and parsley. Most of the time I cook this on the grill in a foil packet, but have done it in the oven. Make sure to turn occasionally or they may stick.

This is a better alternative to frozen processed potatoes. I prefer to omit all that butter in favor of olive oil which is healthier and handles the heat better. Toss the cubed potatoes (I leave the skins)in a light coating of corn starch to improve crisping, add just enough olive oil to keep potatoes from sticking to your pan, and season with paprika, pepper, and salt or garlic salt. Turn potatoes about every 8-10 minutes during 20-25 minutes in the oven.

This can be done in the mocrowave too. Cut the potatoes in bite sized pieces, (I like to leave the skins on)lay them on a microwave safe plate and cover with moistened paper towels. Nuke on high for about 2 minutes or until the spuds are soft. Add butter and salt and pepper to taste.

this is my go to recipe whenever we camp. It goes with everything. like other reviewers, I don't use quite as much butter, 1 stick instead of 2 usually.
