Description
Cheesy Foil Pack Potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish perfect for grilling or baking, featuring tender baby potatoes coated in cheese and spices.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Tear off four large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long. Divide the potato mixture evenly among the foil pieces, placing them in the center.
- Top each portion of potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with chopped green onions.
- Fold the sides of the foil over the potatoes to create a sealed packet, making sure there are no openings for steam to escape.
- Place the foil packets on the grill or in the oven. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Carefully open the foil packets (watch for steam) and serve hot.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the potato mixture before sealing the foil packets.
- Substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, for a different flavor profile.
