Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 375°F).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Lay the potato slices flat in a single layer on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Use a second sheet of foil to cover the potatoes, sealing the edges tightly to create a foil packet.
Place the foil packet on the grill and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the packet halfway through, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are grilling, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, then crumble them into small pieces.
Thinly slice the green onions and set them aside.
Open the foil packet carefully to avoid steam burns. Sprinkle the grilled potatoes with cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
Seal the foil packet again and place it back on the grill for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side, if desired.
