Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) - you can set the temp higher for faster cook times but the flavors blend nicely with a longer cook time.
Pull off large squares of aluminum foil. Portion out sliced potatoes, bacon and onion. Season with garlic powder, salt & pepper. Top each packets ingredients with a pat of butter.
Seal packets and bake in preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for one hour or until potatoes are tender.
Open the foil packets cautiously to avoid steam burns, serve and enjoy!

Notes
Make sure the foil packages are sealed tightly and the seam side is facing up.
No need to spray or coat the foil in oil unless you are opting to remove the bacon and butter.
These potato foil packs are versatile try adding veggies!
Be careful of the steam that vents when opening your foil packets!
