Foil Packet Potatoes

These potatoes don't exactly fit into my diet plan, but Sunday is my "cheat day," and I decided to splurge a little with these and dessert (ooops...better do double the workout tomorrow!)  These were really good, haven't done potatoes quite like this on the grill, but they are wonderful!  We served them up with some grilled chicken.

Foil Packet Potatoes

8 baby red potatoes
Half of a red onion, diced
Half of a green bell pepper, diced
6 slices of bacon, fried to desired crispness and chopped
4 tablespoons butter
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Shredded colby cheese
Sour cream


1. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then slice into half-moons. Place half of the potatoes in the center of a piece of foil; repeat process with the second half of the potatoes and a second sheet of foil. Top potatoes with red onion, bell pepper, and bacon. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Top each serving with 2 tablespoons butter.


2. Close the foil packets, being sure to seal all openings.


3. Place on the hottest part of the grill and cook for 40 minutes, turning packets over halfway through cooking.


4. Let cool 10 minutes before opening. Top each serving with shredded cheese and sour cream, if desired. Serve in foil.
