Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

- Fold and seal each foil packet tightly, leaving a little room for steam to circulate.
- Place the packets on a baking sheet or directly on the grill.
- Cook for 35–45 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
