Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

Step 4

Lay the potato slices flat in a single layer on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Use a second sheet of foil to cover the potatoes, sealing the edges tightly to create a foil packet.

Step 5

Place the foil packet on the grill and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the packet halfway through, until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6

While the potatoes are grilling, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, then crumble them into small pieces.

Step 7

Thinly slice the green onions and set them aside.

Step 8

Open the foil packet carefully to avoid steam burns. Sprinkle the grilled potatoes with cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.

Step 9

Seal the foil packet again and place it back on the grill for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Step 10

Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side, if desired.
