Oven Potato, Bacon & Onion Packets
A delicious potato recipe that is cooked in the oven and without a pan to clean up. If you follow my blog, a couple of days ago I posted how to make these potato packets on the grill. Now I will show you how to make them in the oven. Each packet can be made to each persons preference such as adding onion, green pepper, bacon etc.
Ingredients
Spray two heavy sheets of
foil with cooking spray.
Place the cubed potatoes on
the center of the foil.
Add the onion and the bacon.
Salt, pepper and add the butter on top.
Place the other sheet of foil, sprayed
side down, on top of the potatoes.
Using your hands, form the
foil around the potatoes.
On one side, roll both sheets of foil
together and upwards, rolling to the potatoes.
Do the same to the other side.
Now roll the rest of the
packet upwards toward the top
completely sealing the packet.
Place the packet onto a pan and into a
preheated 350 degree oven for about
45 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the
potatoes sit for 5 minutes. Cut a slit in the
center to let any steam escape then tear away
the foil placing the potatoes on a serving
plate or serve right out of the foil packet.

What an amazing recipe!!
You are always so kind! Thank you Jess!
Aww! Thanks!
I am so going to make this!
Jess put whatever you love in them. Think green pepper, onion, mushroom…etc. Leave out what you do not like. That’s why I love these, everyone can have them made their way!
That is great!
Simple, but surely yammie. I will try this one day, especially now that the days are getting shorter so (too) fast and the temperature have fallen quite a bit. Always finding ideas here 😀. Thank you!
Thank you Daniela! I hope you I enjoy it as much as we do!
Another awesome recipe! I love this no clean-up idea. 🙂
Me too but I also love that everyone can have it their way. I never cook with green peppers because I can’t stand them so my husband rarely gets them. I love mushrooms and he hates them so I rarely cook with them. These we can make with whatever we like without ruining it for the other.
Great idea!
Very wise and good idea 🙂
thank you, dear Diane –
Last, I forgot some potatoes – cut into small bits in the covered casserole, above the electric fire.
I forgot water, butter, olive oil !! What happened ? I was present, happily, the others outside, and suddenly a nice smell of roasted potatoes 🙂 : potatoes very quickly cooked by themselves. Evidently I added parsley, thyme, fresh butter – but now, I do the same, while surveying !
Bises and amitiés – for september’s pleasures 🙂
Now you are making me hungry! Hahaha Thank you for always being so kind.
So tasty
They really were…Thank you!
I’ll have to try this. I’m always looking for good potato recipes.
Sheryl it is so simple and no pan to clean!
Oh, my … anything with potato is a winner as far as I’m concerned. And this looks absolutely amazing!! <3
This looks delicious Diane.
Thanks!
YUM!!!
They are so good! Thank you!!
Welcome!
Butter and bacon! Genius on choppin’ up that potato. Better than plain sliced-in-two potatoes. Yup. Will try!
Thank you Krcc! Enjoy we sure did!

Thank you Noel!
Looks like one of those quick meals that seems like took you a couple hours to make… I can see this on my dinner table this weekend.. 👍
Oh yes I it was so quick and delicious! Now I want to make it again…lol
You’re inspiring me to look into quick wrap up meals like this… time to put the brain cell into action.
That’s wonderful! That is what my blog was meant to do….inspire! You made my day!
👍 I appreciate you!!
I’m making some chili tomorrow. I’m going to use a pound or 2 of deer meat and then (I do it the semi-homemade way) I’ll add a couple cans of chili beans and then some vegetables, jalapeño, onions and such.. I might use some manwich.
I love chili with venison and it’s cold enough to have chili! This sounds so delicious!
