Potato Bundles

I have never met a potato I didn't like.  I love every type of potato-red, Idaho, sweet, Yukon gold...you name it, I'll happily eat it.  My favorite thing about potatoes are their versatility-I love how there are so many different ways to prepare them and that they are the perfect accompaniment to just about any main dish.  This is a different, yet very simple, way to prepare potatoes. 

These potatoes are really good-buttery and flavorful from being cooked with onions, and extremely tender from being steamed in the foil. Matt and I really enjoyed these and I will be adding them to our rotation of side dishes frequently in the future. I didn't include measurements because this recipe is so adaptable-make how ever much you want or need and season to taste.



Russet or Yukon gold potatoes, cut into chunks
Yellow or white onion, cut into bite sized chunks
Butter (regular, salted)
Heavy cream
Kosher salt
Paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced parsley

Pile potatoes and onions on a square of foil. Add 2 tablespoons butter, splash on some cream, then sprinkle on salt, paprika, and black pepper to taste. Wrap potato bundles tightly and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, or until extremely tender. If desired, serve foil bundles right on the plate or remove from foil before serving.
