Notes
For a lighter packet, drizzle with olive oil instead of butter — I make my husband's that way and stick a toothpick in his so I can tell them apart. These also cook beautifully on a grill over medium heat or on campfire coals, about 20–30 minutes, turning once.
Slice the potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate, and seal the packets tightly to trap the steam that cooks them through. Make one packet per person so everyone gets theirs exactly how they like it.
