Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter
5 medium potatoes
1/4 cup chopped green onion
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 slices bacon, crisp-cooked, drained and crumbled

2 tablespoons snipped fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives or 2 tablespoons dried chives

Steps:

  • Grease a 24 x 18 inch piece of heavy duty foil with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
  • Scrub and thinly slice unpeeled potatoes onto the center of the foil.

  • Grill potato packet for 30 to 40 minutes, turning every 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Before serving sprinkle potatoes with bacon, parsley, dill and chives.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Scrub the potatoes well: This will remove any dirt or debris from the skin.
  • Poke the potatoes with a fork: This will help the steam escape and prevent the potatoes from bursting.
  • Wrap the potatoes tightly in foil: This will help to keep the potatoes moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Place the potatoes on a hot grill: This will help to create a crispy skin on the potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes for 30-45 minutes, or until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes.
  • Let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes before serving: This will allow the potatoes to cool slightly and make them easier to handle.
