These are wonderful. I made as directed but omitted the dill due to personal preference. They are better than fried potatoes. The onions are delicious. These will be a regular from now on at our house.

    These were awesome! I followed the recipe and also added garlic powder. Very good! I had to buy dill because I never use it and I'm so happy that I did. Thanks so much for posting! Made for Fall PAC '09.

    I am not sure there are enough words to describe the delight of this packet. This brings back memories from long ago, when we, as young girls; went camping and had made something similar to this to savor and fill our stomach after a long hike. From the beginning of the onions, sliced sideways, to chunking the potatoes in neat quarters, seasoning both the onions and potatoes with the salt, olive oil, and dill. This could not be easier and the aroma that appears throughout the farmhouse is enough to bring everybody and their Mother. The cooking times are absolutely right on target here. The caramelization the occurs makes a beautiful presentation, and I plan on serving this many times over. This could be used at picnic where you have a campfire, line up your guests and have them make their own packets. I went beyond the grill here, and put my packet in my woodstove, far corner away from the direct flame, and they came out beautifully. Thank you so much, Breezytoo! Your recipes never let me down.

    I had some potatoes growing "eyes" so I used them for this recipe. Really easy to make in the oven, but required about 15 more minutes. Definately a good side dish that I'll experiment with seasonings. Thanks!
