Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1.5 cups (shredded) Cheddar cheese
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 stalks (sliced) Green onions
• 0.5 cup (optional) Sour cream
• 1 sheet (large enough to hold all potatoes) Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 375°F/190°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for extra texture and flavor, if desired.

Step 3

Slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick, and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 4

Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then drizzle it over the potato slices.

Step 5

Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the potatoes to evenly coat them with the seasonings.

Step 6

Tear a large sheet of aluminum foil and spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray or brush a bit of oil on it to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Arrange the seasoned potato slices evenly on the foil. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the potatoes, ensuring even coverage.

Step 8

Fold the foil over the potatoes to create a sealed packet. Make sure the edges are tightly crimped to trap the steam inside during grilling.

Step 9

Place the foil packet on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the packet halfway through cooking to ensure even heat distribution.

Step 10

Carefully open the foil packet (watch out for the steam!) and check if the potatoes are tender. If not, reseal and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Step 11

Once the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the foil packet from the grill.

Step 12

Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the cooked potatoes for added freshness and flavor.

Step 13

Serve immediately as is, or with a dollop of sour cream on top for extra creaminess. Enjoy!
