potato question

I will be cooking on my new egg for the third time this evening. I have decided to make a pork tenderloin and possibly potatoes chunks, approximately 3/4in squares. I have tried to find a good recipe and technique but can't find what I'm looking for. Question is should I chop up the potatoes before I put them on foil for the initial cook or cook them for a while whole before I chop them up? I have a feeling I need to put some oil and seasoning on them at some point, but when? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Unfortunately I only have a little over an hour before I start them so I can't do a long prep this time. THX a bunch!

    You can always try this:

    Cut your tatters in cube, toss in some Olive Oil and symply sprinkle with whatever rub you have handy. It can even be Salt & pepper, onion & / or garlic powder.

    Foiled them up and thats it!

    That sounds good. What would you recommend for the temp? Direct or indirect? Approximately how long do you think they would take (roughly). Thanks again!

    I always cut up my potatos in whatever size, add butter and onion, use pepper and lawery salt or a rub. I usually do about 2lbs or so of tators and use about 1/3 stick of butter, wrap in foil and cook for 1hr or so.

    Indirect would be best but direct works too. Just gotta be careful if you go direct cuz the bottom part might burn a little and get crunchy, you know the good stuff :P .

    Depending on how much potatoes you have, and how "thick" your pouch is, I'd say 30 to 45 minutes at 350*. Try to have 1 layer of potatoes if you know what I mean, it will cook faster.
