Creating the Sausage & Potato Foil Packet is easy when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat your grill or oven: Set it to 400°F (200°C) for cooking.
2. Prepare the foil: Tear off large sheets of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long.
3. Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced sausage, diced potatoes, bell pepper, and onion.
4. Add seasonings: Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat everything evenly.
5. Create the packets: Divide the mixture among the foil sheets. Fold the sides of the foil over the filling, then fold over the top to create a sealed packet.
6. Cook: Place the foil packets on the grill or in the oven. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
7. Serve: Carefully unzip the packets (watch out for steam!) and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

These simple steps will lead you to a delightful meal that is packed with flavor and ready to enjoy!
