Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, chopped)
• 2 sheets Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into thin slices (approximately 1/8-inch thick).

Step 3

Tear off two large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 18 inches long each) and lightly spray them with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 5

Place half of the seasoned potato slices onto the center of one foil sheet. Distribute evenly, leaving space around the edges for folding.

Step 6

Cut the butter into small pieces and dot 1 tablespoon over the potatoes. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 7

Carefully fold the aluminum foil over the potatoes, crimping the edges tightly to form a sealed packet. Repeat the process with the second foil sheet and remaining potatoes, butter, and cheese.

Step 8

Place both foil packets onto the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through for even cooking.

Step 9

Carefully open the packets (be cautious of steam) and check the potatoes for doneness. They should be fork-tender and the cheese fully melted.

Step 10

Transfer the cheesy potatoes to a serving dish or serve directly in the foil packets for a rustic presentation. Garnish with chopped chives if desired.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy!
