Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 sheets foil
  • 10-12 small potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix, OR make from a shortcut
  • 12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

  • 2-3 tablespoons butter
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded, for serving, optional
  • sour cream, OR make from a shortcut, for serving
  • olive oil, as needed

Instructions
 

  • Rub each sheet of foil with olive oil. Top each piece with equal portions of potatoes, bacon, 1 packet onion soup powder and mix together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to each packet. Wrap securely.
  • Grill for 20 to 30 minutes. Or you can bake it in the oven, at 180 C for about 35 minutes or till done. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve in foil placed in the center of the table, have sour cream and or cheese available if desired, and let people serve themselves.

Notes

The bacon would cost about 70 Baht, for 6 servings this is about 34 cents per serving. Using the optional cheese and or sour cream will increase the cost per serving.
