Calories 426kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pound potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup white onion diced
- 1 clove garlic clove minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Ranch dressing mix
- 2 cups cheese (Colby, Monterey, Cheddar) shredded
- 6 to 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat grill or oven to 425 degrees.
- Prepare 10-inch lengths of foil, double thickness for your packs. Spray with non-stick spray.
- First, begin by prepping your potatoes. Wash potatoes and pat dry. Then, cut into 1-inch cubes. Prep onion by dicing finely. Mince garlic.
- Add potatoes, onions, garlic, vegetables, oil, salt, pepper, and ranch dressing mix to a bowl. Stir to coat. Spoon equal amount of potatoes into your foil packs and close tightly.
- Cook for 25 minutes. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork. Cook another 5 minutes if the potatoes are still firm. If cooked through add cheese then bacon to packs, close again and cook another 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve hot with sour cream, Ranch dressing, green onions, and/or hot sauce.
- Note: If you're cooking these actually at a campout on a campfire, you can cook the bacon, dice the onion, mince the garlic, and shred the cheese at home. (Do not slice the potatoes as they will turn brown.) Package the prepped ingredients separately and store in a cooler.
Notes
Serve with sour cream, ranch dressing, green onions, and/or hot sauce, if desired
