Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lb small (two-bite) Yukon gold potatoes, halved
4 teaspoons oil
2 tablespoons ranch dip mix (from 1-oz package)
1 jalapeño chile, seeded, finely chopped
4 slices cooked bacon, coarsely chopped
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 2 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
  • Add cut potatoes to medium bowl. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with ranch dip mix. Add jalapeño chile; stir until evenly coated. Place equal amount of mixture on center of each sheet of foil. Evenly sprinkle with bacon.
  • Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
  • Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 12 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 12 to 14 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender. Remove packs from grill, cut large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil, and sprinkle potatoes with cheese. If desired, garnish with sliced jalapeño chile.

CHEESY POTATO BACON PACKETS FOR THE GRILL



Cheesy Potato Bacon Packets for the Grill image

I have been making these for years, it's a family favorite! all ingredients are wrapped in a foil pouch then grilled for about 30-40 minutes, add in some cooked cubed ham for a complete meal, you could even make the packets well in advance then refrigerate until ready to grill :) Make certain to use only large heavy-duty foil for this and spray the inside of the foil generously!

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large potatoes (sliced 1/4-inch thick)
2 medium onions, chopped
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup grated cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (I just use a 1-pound package of bacon)
6 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces (use 3 tablespoons for each packet)
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
black pepper
shredded cheese

Steps:

  • Divide the sliced potatoes and onions equally between two pieces (about 18-inches each) heavy-duty foil, that has been sprayed liberally with cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle with seasoning salt, pepper and garlic powder; tossing lightly with hands to coat with seasonings.
  • In a bowl combine grated cheddar mozzarella and Parmesan cheese; divide and sprinkle over the potatoes and onions.
  • Divide/top with bacon and butter cubes.
  • Bring opposite ends of the foil together over filling and fold down several times.
  • Fold unsealed ends toward filling and crimp tightly (making a sealed packet, you may poke a small hole on top of the packet to let steam escape).
  • At this point to you may refrigerate for a few hours until ready to grill.
  • Place on grill over medium heat for about 35-40 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Remove from grill, carefully open the packets (be careful these packets have lots of steam inside, so open with care!) and sprinkle with more grated cheese.
  • Delicious!
