These Cheesy Grilled Potatoes with Bacon are a great side dish or appetizer for your summer BBQ! Made in cute foil packets, these potatoes are perfectly cheesy and deliciously seasoned to go with any main dish!
Poke a few holes in each potato with a knife or skewer.
Place potatoes on a large microwave-safe plate (choose potatoes that are roughly the same size) and cook on high for 3-4 minutes, until somewhat tender (but not totally soft).
Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 350 degrees F).
Let the potatoes cool enough so that you can touch them. Slice potatoes into consistently thin slices.
Lay two large sheets of aluminum foil together (or use a cast iron skillet or grill pan) and spray with cooking spray.
Place a single layer of potatoes on top of the foil. Combine the salt and pepper and sprinkle ⅓ of the seasoning mixture over the potatoes. Top with ⅓ of the cheese and ⅓ of the bacon.
Repeat the layers two more times until all the potatoes, cheese, and bacon have been used. Fold up the sides of the foil (if using a skillet or pan, you may want to cover it with foil to keep the heat in) and pinch the top closed. Place directly onto your charcoal grill or gas grill. Cover the grill, and cook for 10-20 minutes, until potatoes are tender all the way through. Open up the foil and sprinkle with green onions. Serve immediately.
