Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs small yukon gold potatoes quartered
3 cloves garlic minced
2 Jalapenos seeded and cut into slices
1/2 cup onion diced
1/2 cup red peppers diced
2 tablespoons ranch dip mix
1 tablespoon olive oil
5-6 slices cooked bacon coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley
Sour cream optional

Instructions

In a large bowl add potatoes, olive oil, onions, pepper, garlic, jalapenos and sprinkle the ranch dip mix and toss until combined.
Spray non-stick spray on foil sheets (I usually do 3) divide the potatoes evenly among the foil sheets. Fold the edges of the foil over the potatoes to form a packet.
Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover and cook 15 minutes, rotate, and cook another 15 minutes or until fork-tender.
Gently open packs and sprinkle cheese and bacon over potatoes. Cover the grill and wait 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Remove from grill and garnish with sour cream and fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

Potatoes- You can also use russet potatoes.

Cutting the potatoes the same size will ensure even cooking.

We prefer a mixture of pepper jack and cheddar cheese. You can use whatever cheese you prefer.

Oven baking times: Preheat oven to 425 degrees and place foil-wrapped potato packets on a baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the center rack and bake for 30 minutes or until fork tender. Open foil packets and place cheese on top and bake another 5 minutes or until melted.
