These are very easy to make and can be made on a bbq, over a campfire or even in your oven at home! Great for any occasion!

Great recipe! If desired you can reduce the amount of butter used if you're watching your diet. I prefer to use a little more garlic but only because I'm a garlic lover:) I usually make this on the grill too and I usually slice the potatoes instead of chopping them. You can use any kind of potato not only red potatoes. Read More

...Could not make ANOTHER baked potato in the micro or mashed potato on the stove (can't wait for it to cool down so I can use my oven again!) so decided to try these. They were ok..next time I will add more seasoning and fresh garlic. Also turned out a little dry so will add a splash of evoo as well... Read More

This was so delicious! My husband and I aren't big potato eaters but this was so good that I've made it multiple times already! I had to keep the potato sack in the oven a little bit longer than the suggested time but that could be my old oven and not so much the recipe. Read More
