How to Make Lemon Pepper Potatoes

Lemon Pepper Potatoes as a side dish, when baking chicken or anything that takes about an hour, saves money and time! This potato dish is fast and easy, yet versatile!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Either super strong foil to make a cooking packet or a baking dish with a cover.
• Potatoes - 6 medium
• Green and/or red peppers - 1 cup cut up
• Onions - 1 cup cut up
• Lemon juice - either fresh or concentrated - 1/2 cup.
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• Lemon Pepper to taste, if on hand
• 1 stick of butter (or margarine - but not recommended)

1. Wash about 6 medium potatoes.
   Peel or don't peel - your option.
   Either slice to the thickness you like or cube to the size you like.

2. Peel and chunk up the onions and your choice of peppers.
   Slice or dice - again - your option.

3. 
   Mixed ingredients

   Put potatoes, peppers, and onions in the middle of a good sized amount of aluminum foil or a baking dish.

4. Pour the lemon juice over the potatoes and onions, then add salt and pepper and toss around a bit. Sprinkle lemon pepper over the top, if desired.

5. 
   Butter & lemon

   Cut the butter into chunks and place on top of the potatoes, peppers and onions.

6. Seal the foil packet tightly or cover the baking pan, either with foil or a fitted cover. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour and a half.

Tips & Warnings

• This recipe is so versatile that there's almost no way to mess it up. The lemon juice and butter keep the potatoes & peppers moist even if left in the oven an extra half hour so if your main dish will take longer than an hour, no problem.
• If you are going to grill on the barbecue longer than an hour, use the foil packet method and put the packet at the back of the grill (even before coals have died down) and save oven time. Turn the packet over every 20 minutes. (Be sure the seal is tight.)
• When cooking on the grill, squeeze the packet gently to see if the potatoes are done. Do not poke holes in the foil by testing with a fork or knife.
• If the seal on the foil is not tight, the butter will leak out - serving neither the dish or your taste buds.
• If baking using the packet method, a cookie sheet under it is great insurance to avoid spills.
