Potato Packets on the Grill

Here's a "before" we put them on the grill picture.

I had forgotten about this delicious way to fix potatoes, until I needed a great side dish for some burgers.  When you don't want to use the oven, I hope you try these individual packets for your guests at your next cook-out.

For each packet:

1 potato, peeled and sliced thinly
some green onions, sliced
bacon, cooked and crumbled
a pat of butter
a handful of grated cheese

Ready for the grill.

heavy-duty aluminum foil, cut in a square large enough for the ingredients


Spray the aluminum foil square with cooking spray.  Add the potato and the rest of the ingredients.  Fold the square, making sure to double seal all the openings, but leaving room for expansion. 

Place the packets onto the the preheated grill and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.  You can flip the packets halfway through.

Be careful when opening, as the steam is very HOT!

Ooey gooey cheesy goodness!

  3. MMMMMMMMMM never fails I get SO hungry when I read your wonderful blog!

    Funny you are "married" our two favorites - I'm Irish and a day without a potato is like a day w/o sunshine...and for Mr. Finch Rest? He feels that way about All Things Bacon!

    Going to have to try this one very soon.

    Have a blessed weekend, my friend.

  6. You can also add a ground beef patty or a boneless, skinless chicken breast and a tomato or worcestershire sauce for a whole meal pouch. My kids love to do their own with their choice of my prepared ingredients.

  7. What a great idea for summer when you don't want to heat up your house with the oven. I "made up" something similar many years ago when we lived in the islands and we did not have air-conditioning at the time. I love that you've used bacon. Everything is better with bacon.
