    Cheesy, flavorful potatoes that are cooked in tin foil, create an easy to clean up side dish!! Perfect for any BBQ or gathering, these Grilled Cheesy Garlic Potatoes are delicious and sure to be a favorite with everyone!

    Cheesy garlic potato foil packet fresh off the grill

    Living here in Houston, Texas, my family loves to grill. Not only does it help keep the house cool, but it cuts down on messes, as well as clean up duty!

    Last week, my hubby grilled some steaks for dinner. Since nothing pairs better with steak than potatoes, I decided to create these Grilled Cheesy Garlic Potato foil packets and have him add them to the grill. My kiddos were big fans of the cheese in these, whereas I was a fan of the onion especially. All the flavors created a perfect side dish and dinner was fabulous! There’s really nothing better than the combination of cheese + garlic + potatoes if you ask me…..and this flavor profile really complements a good steak perfectly.

    These Grilled Cheesy potato packets are simple to make, impossible to screw up, and unforgettably packed with flavor!

    Here’s an underrated positive for these…..once wrapped and thrown on the grill, it’s really very difficult to mess this recipe up. As long as you ensure the potatoes have cooked long enough to soften, it’s nearly impossible to overcook! I like my potatoes on the softer side, so I can stir in the cheese and really get a great flavor in every bite. This recipe lends perfectly to that….even better, you can focus on other sides (or steaks, in this case) while these are cooking….no need to flip, turn, or move around!

    Clean up is a breeze as well since all you have to do is package up the leftovers, if there are any, and simply toss the tin foil into the garbage! Score!! Your grill and tools all stay clean with this easy cook!

    From my family to yours, hope you enjoy!!

      YOU ARE USING ALUMINUM FOIL—
      NOT “TIN FOIL”—

      Hehe, sorry about that, I grew up calling it tin foil. Yes, you are right however, it is aluminum foil!

      Can these be made in oven in packets, what temp and how long?

      For sure! I would say 350 degrees and cook for about 45 minutes to an hour. Check on them afterwards and if not quite done, add an additional 15 minutes! Enjoy!

      Ok, I’ve been reading the comments of a lot of your recipes and have read some ugly remarks but seriously…Gordon M. Johanson… are you seriously correcting the use of tin foil, and in all caps? That is ridiculous!! Kristin, kudos to you for keeping your comments sweet and pleasant, in the midst of all these self-righteous comments from people who have nothing better to do than correct insignificant postings. It lights me up!!

      If you are adding bacon do you pre cook it or add it raw

      I tend to add pre-cooked bacon because I like it nice and crispy! Enjoy!
