Directions

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray four sheets of aluminum foil with cooking spray.
Divide potatoes evenly among the sheets of aluminum foil; season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Place 2 tablespoons of the butter flavored spread over each mound of potatoes. Create packets by folding and sealing the aluminum foil. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Drain melted butter-flavored spread before serving.

"I have made this for years - on the grill! It's such an easy way to make potatoes while the meat is grilling. Add sliced onions! Cook the packet until the potatoes are fork-tender, flipping them ov..." See moreer once in awhile (if the foil packet is super-tight) to be sure they are getting evenly done. I wouldn't use oregano, but only because I don't care for oregano. Garlic/salt/pepper/butter is plenty."

"Great recipe that's low in fat! I did mine on the grill. I sprayed the bottom of a foil packet with Pam to prevent the potatoes from sticking. I left out the oregano (personal preference) and added..." See more some vidalia onion. I used minced garlic vs. garlic powder. There's nothing simpler and these go great with BBQ chicken."
