Grilled Potato Packets
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Grill: 45 min.
YIELD: 8 servings.
Potatoes require a little extra time on the grill, so remember to give these pouches first dibs on the flames. —Anna Bjornn, Rexburg, Idaho
Ingredients
-
2 pounds medium red potatoes (about 7), cut into wedges
-
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
-
6 slices ready-to-serve fully cooked bacon, chopped
-
3/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/8 teaspoon pepper
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
-
1.
In a large bowl, toss potatoes with green onions, bacon, salt and pepper. Place half of the mixture on a greased double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square); dot with 1 tablespoon butter. Fold foil over potato mixture and crimp edges to seal. Repeat to make a second packet.
-
2.
Grill, covered, over medium heat 20-23 minutes on each side or until potatoes are tender. Remove from grill.

3.
Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle potatoes with cheese. Grill opened packets, covered, 3-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
