Cheesy Potatoes on the Grill

⏱ 40 mins 🍽 3 serving(s) 🏷 Potato

These cheesy grilled potatoes are a fantastic side dish cooked in a foil packet. Red potatoes are sliced and layered with butter, onion, garlic and a trio of cheeses before being sealed and grilled. They are ideal for outdoor cooking, whether on a barbecue grill or even over a campfire. The result is tender, flavourful potatoes with a deliciously melted cheese topping, ready in about 40 minutes.

Cheesy Potatoes on the Grill

Ingredients

  • 2 large red potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons butter, sliced fairly thin
  • 2 tablespoons onions, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Method

  1. Prepare two large sheets of heavy duty aluminium foil.
  2. Coat the centre of one foil sheet generously with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into fairly thick slices.
  4. Arrange the potato slices in a single, slightly overlapping layer on the prepared foil.
  5. Scatter the minced onion and garlic evenly over the potatoes.
  6. Add a generous amount of salt and pepper for seasoning.
  7. Place the thin slices of butter across the top of the potatoes.
  8. Evenly sprinkle the grated parmesan, shredded mozzarella and shredded cheddar cheese over everything.
  9. Cover the potatoes with the second piece of foil, folding and sealing all the edges tightly to create a packet, ensuring the top foil does not press down on the cheese.
  10. Use a small knife or scissors to make three small holes in the top centre of the foil packet.
  11. Place the packet directly onto a preheated grill and cook for about 30 minutes.
  12. Take the packet off the grill and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
  13. Open the packet carefully, as hot steam inside can cause burns.
