Sausage Potato Foil Packets
Description
This recipe features smoked sausage sliced lengthwise alongside Yukon gold potatoes cut into bite-sized pieces and thinly sliced red onion. The potatoes are seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before being distributed among aluminum foil sheets with sausage and onion. Each packet receives a tablespoon of butter for richness before being sealed and baked at 400°F until potatoes are tender.
Baking in foil ensures the sausage imparts flavor to the potatoes and onions while keeping everything moist. After baking, the packets may be briefly broiled open to add a slight char to the sausage for added texture and flavor contrast. The dish is garnished with chopped Italian parsley for brightness.
This meal works well for an easy dinner or outdoor cookout, offering a simple combination of ingredients requiring limited preparation and cleanup. Serving the packets warm allows you to enjoy the sausage’s smokiness alongside tender potatoes and sweet onion.
