The Pioneer Woman's Potato Bundles

(Click here to see the Pioneer Woman's step by step of this recipe)

Submitted by: Sarah

Ingredients
  • 6 whole Russet Potatoes
  • ½ whole Yellow Onion, Diced
  • 1 stick Butter
  • ½ cups Heavy Cream
  • Kosher Salt To Taste
  • Paprika To Taste
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Taste
  • 2 Tablespoons Minced Parsley
Preparation Instructions

Pile potatoes and onions on a square of foil. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Splash on cream. Then sprinkle on salt, paprika, and black pepper. Sprinkle minced parsley over the top.

Wrap bundles tightly and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, or until extremely tender.

Serve bundles right on the dinner plate. Serves 8.

OR if you want to try cooking them out on your grill


Cook over a medium-hot grill for 20-30 minutes, turning once. Be careful not to tear the foil.

**I think these would be fun when you're having a smaller group over for a BBQ. You could ask ahead of time what toppings each guest would like OR you could even have all the toppings out and ready to go...and have each guest personalize their potato bundle before you throw it on the grill. In any case, get creative! Add bacon, cheese, chives, etc.**

3 medium tart apples
1 (12-ounce) can lemon-lime soda (optional)
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugars and vanilla, fold in the Brickle chips.
  2. Halve, core and slice the apples and soak in lemon-lime soda to keep them from darkening. Drain and lay the apple slices around the dip bowl.
