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!

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.

Excellent! Made as directed for the first time , like I usually try to do! I might mess with the seasonings another time but these are very very tasty as is!! I wouldn't sub any regular ole potatoes though. Stick with the red!!

YUMMMMMY!! I did half the recipe and had leftovers (cooking for 1 is hard to do, but I don't mind leftovers). I like side dishes from the oven when I bake chicken or meat loaf. I baked for about 45 minutes on 375 with my chicken. Thanks Breezytoo!!!!!!

I scaled this back to 3 serves and made them individually and we enjoyed it immensely and would definately like to try it with other vegies and maybe even make it a complete meal vegie wise adding cauliflower and greens like broccoli or beans and also carrot or finely slice pumpkin and being able to present all your veg in one pack and you can individually make them to suit each person. For individual packs they took about 25 minutes to bake at 175C fan forced oven as per recipe without extra veg as I suggested. Thank you Breezytoo, made for I Recommend (by WiGal).

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 could happily make a meal of these (in fact, I seem to be doing so this evening ) I used about three-quarters of a red onion, because I had it already cut, and--liking the idea of slicing the the potatoes--did so. These are utterly outstanding. They are going in my Best of 2008 cookbook right now.

What a yummy potato dish. I prepared on the grill along with some ribs. I sliced my potatoes to help with the cooking time. Just delicious. I used Johnny's seasoning salt, but I think the dill is what took this over the top. Thanks for posting.

Charcoal and I just don't get along since I've moved from AL to PA! I started these on the grill, along with some steaks, over a SCREAMING hot grill. After leaving them about 30 minutes, I put my hand over the coals and could leave it there for WAY too long before it got hot. So, I brought them in, dumped them into a glass baking dish, covered them and cooked them about 8 minutes longer in the microwave. They were DELICIOUS! I didn't want to heat the house up with the oven, but next time I'll do them in the oven in the first place! Can't wait to experiment with different seasonings too! Thanks for posting Breezytoo!

These were wonderful. I fixed these for supper last night and there were no leftovers. Instead of one big packet, I divided mine up into three packets. I also substituted the oil with some butter flavored canola oil spray. Thanks so much for sharing these with us. Made for PAC Fall/2008.
