Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and cutting 2 pounds of red potatoes into uniform 1-inch chunks.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 ounce of ranch seasoning, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.
  3. Allow the seasoned potatoes to sit for about 5 minutes.
  4. Take a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, and transfer the seasoned potato mixture onto it. Fold the foil over the potatoes to form a packet.
  5. Place the foil packet directly on the preheated grill and let it cook for about 10 minutes. Flip the packet over and grill for an additional 10 minutes.
  6. Carefully open the foil packet and sprinkle ⅔ cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the cooked potatoes.
  7. Close the foil packet loosely and return it to the grill for an extra 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil packet from the grill and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley and 2 tablespoons of thinly sliced green onions.
