What makes these potatoes so tasty is the lemon zest and parsley, so don’t skimp! If you’re using larger potatoes, just cut them into smaller pieces so they cook faster.
Reynolds Wrap is produced using food safety and quality standards, making the foil my go-to in the kitchen and on the grill. Heavy Duty Foil is also available in a wider 18-inch roll, great for larger foil packets to throw on the grill.
