This recipe is my one of my husband's favorite foods to eat while camping. They are simple to make, require very little clean up, and taste great! We carry a tabletop propane grill with us when we camp, but these potatoes could easily be made on an open fire or on a charcoal grill as well.
Needs:
Potatoes, any variety. I use the small redskin potatoes.
Green Onions
Bacon Bits, we use real Bacon bits, not the artificial ones
Cheddar Cheese (we use Mild Cheddar)
Butter
Salt and Pepper
Foil
Non-stick cooking spray
Cut a big enough piece of foil to hold all of the potatoes you will be cutting. Spray the foil with non-stick spray. Slice the butter thinly and place slices on the sprayed foil.
Wash and cut potatoes into chunks. Try to keep the pieces fairly uniform so that they cook evenly.
Place potatoes on to the foil.
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Shred your cheddar cheese. Use enough cheese to completely cover the potatoes. We never use extra sharp cheddar cheese for this because it is too much sharpness. I recommend the mild cheddar, but the sharp cheddar, or a blend of the two cheeses will work as well.
Slice the green onions. Use both the white part and the green part. Use as many as you'd like, to taste. I like a lot of onions, some of you don't. It's okay. Sprinkle the onions on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle you bacon bits over the cheese.
Cover your potatoes completely in foil. Poke some vent holes in the top of the foil for steam to escape.
Cook on indirect heat until the potatoes are soft and the cheese is melted. On our propane grill, this takes about 45 minutes. I usually turn them at least twice during the cooking process. I also check on the potatoes at each turn, both for doneness and to make sure they don't burn.
When the potatoes are soft, remove from heat, open the foil pack and enjoy!
Your finished product should look something like this:
To clean up, throw your foil away! This is the best part of cooking with foil. These potatoes are great with burgers, hot dogs, BBQ chicken, or any other sort of grilled food you'd like.
Enjoy!
