I really enjoy making these potatoes in a foil packet. Not only are they easy to make, but clean is super easy.
A few notes when making these, make sure your foil is big enough, too many times have I made the foil too small and was barley able to close the foil. Also do not forget to spray the foil with cooking spray, or your potatoes will stick, not that I have done that once or twice.
