Instructions
Prep the potatoes
Wash, dry, and slice the Idaho® Pee-Wee Potatoes.
Toss potatoes in a large bowl and add the Ranch seasoning. Toss to coat.
Add the onion and mix again to combine.
Arrange a large sheet of heavy-duty foil on a clean work surface, about 20” long.
Pour the potatoes into the center of the foil and top with the dollops of butter, crumbled bacon, and cheese.
Fold the foil packet over the potatoes, repeating on the other side and folding the edges up to seal.
Lay out another sheet of foil.
Place the foil-wrapped potatoes seam-side down in the center and fold again, creating a double layer of foil.
Grill the potatoes
Place the foil packet on a grill grate over a preheated campfire and cook for 30 to 45 minutes, flipping once halfway through the cooking time, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Carefully remove the foil pack from the grill and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before folding it open at the seams.
Garnish with minced parsley and serve by spooning out individual portions and enjoy.
Notes
Use caution when opening it as the steam is hot. Some cheese will stick to the aluminum foil. If desired, you can add even more cheese immediately after opening for more melty goodness.
