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 preheated 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.

This makes 4 very generous servings.
A large potato might be enough for 2 people to share.

Cook's Notes: These can be made in the oven as well. Place on a baking sheet in a
375F degree oven for about 45 minutes (until potatoes are fork tender).
To make this a bit easier, feel free to use packaged shredded cheddar cheese as well as packaged bacon pieces or microwaveable bacon!
