Recipe Tips:
- I use Yukon gold potatoes, but Russet or red-skinned potatoes will also work.
- Cutting the potatoes the same size will ensure even cooking.
- We prefer a mixture of pepper jack and cheddar cheese. You can use whatever cheese you prefer.
- Spraying the foil with cooking spray helps prevent any sticking.
Can these be made in the oven?
Yes, Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and place foil-wrapped potato packets on a baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the center rack and bake for 30 minutes or until fork-tender. Open foil packets and place cheese on top and bake another 5 minutes or until melted.

Yes Melanie that’s how I make mine
I've never done it that way Melanie, so I can't say for sure.
If I did a big batch in casserole dish would I just cover the top in foil and it be same cooking time?
These potatoes were delicious! Will definitely make again!
These look really flavorful!
Gnna make them in the oven with dinner tonight.
The potatoes from the little potato company will be great in this recipe ........
There are baking instructions in the notes section. 400 degrees for about 30 minutes
If doing these in the oven what should the oven temp be set to and for how long?
Olive oil goes in with the potatoes and tossed in the bowl. Yes you can use canola oil if you like. Hope you enjoy them 🙂
You didn't say when to add the olive oil. May I use canola oil instead?
