Potato Bundles

The Pioneer Woman's potato bundles are so easy to assemble and fun to make. A parcel of potatoes, onions, butter,sprinkle of paprika, ground pepper and Cream is baked in sealed foil packets in the oven. These potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft and tender from inside. Caramelized onions and butter makes these potatoes so delicious.
