Cheddar Bacon Potato Packets

By garciamoss

These are great for summer because you can easily make them on the grill.
Throw some steaks on the grill too and you have an amazing meal and no heating up the house. But these are easily made in your oven too (see notes below for directions).

Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 4 tbsp. butter
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup cooked & crumbled bacon
• 2 green onions, sliced
• salt & pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium heat (make sure grates are clean).

You'll need 4 large squares of foil to make these packets.If you aren't using nonstick aluminum foil, you'll need to make sure you spray the foil really well with nonstick cooking spray to keep potatoes from sticking while cooking.

Place cubed potatoes on each of the 4 aluminum foil squares. Add 1 tbsp. butter to each pile of potatoes. Sprinkle with salt & pepper, to taste.

Cover potatoes with about 1/2 cup shredded cheese and 1/4 cup bacon pieces. Wrap foil securely around potatoes. Pierce foil with a knife several times to vent steam while cooking.

Place on grill. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 45-60 minutes until potatoes are tender. Once potatoes are finished, sprinkle with sliced green onions.

Cook's Notes: These can be made in the oven as well. Place packets on a baking sheet in a 375F degree oven for about 45 minutes (until potatoes are fork tender).
