We like grilling because it's a no-fuss way to make a meal. This pleasing potato recipe is one we use often! The onion, cheddar cheese and Worscestershire sauce combine to make a super side dish for any grilled meat. Plus, cooking in the foil makes cleanup a breeze. —JoAnn Dettbarn, Brainerd, Minnesota

Really good. I used olive oil instead of butter and added some minced garlic. Also used dry parsley not fresh. Not sure what the chicken broth was for since its not in the directions and I didn't use it.

I have made this sereral times in the oven. It is easy to put together and very tasty. I like that there is cheese but not an over powering amount and with all the other flavors going on it is really about tasty potatoes. These potatoes compliment a variety of meat dishes. I served this over Christmas week with Italian roast beef sandwiches then in the summer next to hot dogs and hamburgers. I followed the recipe as is but since I made my in the oven it took just about an hour in the oven at 350 degrees. I placed the potatoes in my large glass pie plate and when it came out of the oven I set it on a hot pad and served from there --- easy clean-up too!

Amazing! I baked these instead of doing them on the grill just because it seemed easier. Next time I'll add minced garlic. I used dried parsley, not fresh, because that's what I had.

I will try again w/less liquid. Potatoes were a little too soft but flavor was good.

patty stone. a recipe is a guide. you look at it and say "how can i make this my own?" do this with everything you cook and people will think you're amazing (there might be th occasional disaster but that happens). just play with your food
This is scallopped potatoes at their best. Not like gran's but ecellent.

I do potatoes similar to this (minus onion) on the bbq quite often. I also do them in the oven if the weather is poor, but they do turn out the crispiest on the bbq.I grate my potatoes on the largest hole of my box grater, then toss them in a half olive oil, half melted butter, & chopped garlic mixture before addding them to the foil. Before sealing the foil, I add a sprinkle of kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper for seasoning, a few more sprinkles of olive oil, & occassionally I'll add a bit of chopped fresh mint, or parsley.They're very good!

This recipe sounds delicious.. I cooked the "campfire potatoes" on an actual campfire. I dont know what went wrong but they tasted so bad I couldnt even eat them.

These are the best! Been making since I discovered the recipe years ago in Taste of home, everyone always asks for these.

I was disappointed...not much flavor. If I made it again I would double or even triple the cheese mixture.

I didn't have enough space on the grill so I put it all in a 9x9 square baking dish. I baked it covered at 350 for 45 minutes, then removed the foil for a 10 minutes. Excellent!

Seeing as that my husband and daughter are meat and potatoes people they LOVED this. I do not care for potatoes in the least but I actually went back for seconds!

I have been making these for years, since I first saw the recipe in TOH. Our entire family loves them! I don't grill mine; I cover them with foil and bake for 40 minutes on 425 degrees, then take the foil off and cook another 5 or 10 minutes.

We love this recipe, I do the same in the oven. The onions and minced jalapenos makes it really pop

The directions say to fold foil up around potatoes and add broth. I'm sure the broth adds flavor and moisture to help the potatoes cook.
