Foil potatoes with garlic sauce
Wrap the potatoes individually in sheets of foil so that it is inside the "pouch with a tail."
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and put the bags of potatoes on a baking sheet with “tails” up. Potatoes in the oven in the foil will be cooked for about 25-30 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooked in foil, mix the sauce with an equal amount of sour cream and mayonnaise (1: 1), add chopped dill greens and garlic passed through a garlic squeezer.
When the baked potato in the foil is ready, remove the pan from the oven and open the bags. Then carefully cut each potato crosswise, but make sure that it does not fall apart. Pour a little sauce into the middle of the cut and wrap the bags again.
Leave the potatoes in foil to soak the sauce for 5 minutes.

Potato in a foil with bacon
To prepare this dish, you can use slices of regular bacon or strips of bacon. With bacon, it usually turns out a little tastier - baked potatoes in the foil acquire an appetizing aroma of smoked meats.
If you decide to cook potatoes in a foil with bacon, make vertical cuts on each of them. The potato should “open”, but not break up at the same time. Put a slice of bacon and dill in each cut.
If you decide to make potatoes in a foil with bacon, do not cut it, but simply wrap the potatoes with slices of bacon.
Put each potato in the center of a small piece of foil and wrap it on top of the edge. Roasting potatoes in a foil with bacon takes about half an hour.

It is hard to say what prevails: taste or good. All vitamins and minerals are stored in potatoes baked in foil. The main trace element is potassium, so baked potatoes are an excellent remedy for calf convulsions. Baked potatoes are best eaten right away. But if, having taken out of the oven, you do not unfold the foil, then the cooled potatoes can be heated in a pan under the lid, in the oven, in the microwave.
