Notes
Cooking time: The cooking time mainly depends on the size of the potatoes, as the other ingredients are either cooked already or don't take long to cook. Cut the potatoes smaller for a shorter cooking time.
Pre-seasoning: Feel free to prepare and season the potatoes a day or so ahead and just keep them in the refrigerator until required.
Not all foil is created equal: If you want your potato packets to be delicious, don't use cheap foil which is going to tear! Instead, use heavy duty aluminum foil that will safely enclose all your ingredients and make this recipe a success.
