Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 roll Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Do not peel the skin unless desired.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Cut four large sheets of aluminum foil (approximately 18 inches each). Lay them flat on a working surface.
Divide the potatoes evenly among the foil sheets, piling them in the center of each piece.
Top each pile of potatoes with 1 tablespoon of butter and divide the shredded cheddar cheese equally among the packets.
Fold the foil tightly around the potatoes to form sealed packets, ensuring no openings so the steam stays inside while grilling.
Place the potato packets on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through cooking.
Remove the packets from the grill and carefully open them (watch out for hot steam).
Sprinkle with sliced green onions for garnish and serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite grilled protein.
