Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lb small (two-bite) Yukon gold potatoes, halved
4 teaspoons oil
2 tablespoons ranch dip mix (from 1-oz package)
1 jalapeño chile, seeded, finely chopped
4 slices cooked bacon, coarsely chopped
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 2 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
  • Add cut potatoes to medium bowl. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with ranch dip mix. Add jalapeño chile; stir until evenly coated. Place equal amount of mixture on center of each sheet of foil. Evenly sprinkle with bacon.
  • Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
  • Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 12 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 12 to 14 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender. Remove packs from grill, cut large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil, and sprinkle potatoes with cheese. If desired, garnish with sliced jalapeño chile.

Meh. I thought this recipe was just okay. The potatoes were a little dry and the cheese and bacon were kind of bland. I wouldn't make it again.

These potato foil packs are a great way to use up leftover bacon and potatoes. They're also a great option for camping or tailgating.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The potatoes are always cooked evenly and the cheese and bacon are melted and flavorful. I like to add some diced tomatoes and bell peppers for a little extra veggie goodness.

5/5 stars! This recipe is a keeper. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the bacon and cheese were melted and gooey. I added some chopped green onions for a little extra flavor and it was perfect.

I was skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of bacon, but I was pleasantly surprised! The bacon added a nice smoky flavor to the potatoes and the cheese and ranch dressing made them creamy and delicious. I'll definitely be making thi
