Garlic and Rosemary Potato Packets

Do NOT eat these if someone in your group is not eating them also. And don't even think about eating them if your spouse or partner is not eating them. They are not for the faint of heart. But if you like garlic, you are going to LOVE these.


Cheesy Factor (1 no cheese, 10 all cheese): 1- but it has lots of garlic, so I accept it
Dummy Factor (1 easiest, 10 hardest): 1- a child could make these
Time Factor (1 shortest, 10 longest): 4


Rosemary and Garlic Potato Packets
1-2 small redskin potatoes per person
Pearl onions
Red bell pepper
Green bell pepper
Garlic bulb
Salt/pepper
Fresh Rosemary, chopped
Olive Oil

Preheat oven to 400 deg. Chop red bell pepper and green pepper (about a 1/4 of the pepper per two people). Cube potatoes into 1 inch cubes. Make a little "boat" with tin foil, large enough to fit all potatoes (or 2 boats, with half amount). In a large mixing bowl, put potatoes, peppers, pearl onions, and individual cloves of garlic, in the skin. Season with salt, pepper, rosemary, and drizzle plenty of olive oil. Toss to coat everything, maybe season with a little more salt and pepper. Put mixture into the boat. Seal it up the tinfoil packet and put into oven for 45 min- 1 hour (just open packet slightly and check to see if potatoes are done with a fork).


The best part about these are the cloves of garlic, which when cooked, become soft and mushy and delicious and you can squeeze them onto the potatoes (or eat by themselves!). But now you understand why you can't eat them alone.....because then you will remain alone.

Also, if you don't have fresh rosemary, these are good without it too. They better with the rosemary, but definitely still tasty without it.
