Ingredients for Bacon Potato Bundles

  • Baking Potatoes
  • Onions
  • Green Peppers
  • 4 ounces bacon (about 4-5 slices per packet)
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Bacon Potato Bundles

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Cut 4 large russet potatoes into quarters.
  3. Place each potato quarter onto a separate piece of large, greased heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12x12 inches).
  4. Divide 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper evenly among the four foil packets, placing them between the potato quarters.
  5. Top each packet with 4-5 slices of bacon (about 4 ounces total).
  6. Sprinkle each packet generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Drizzle each packet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil (optional, for extra flavor and browning).
  8. Carefully fold the foil over to create a sealed packet, crimping the edges to prevent leaks.
  9. Place the foil packets on the preheated grill.
  10. Grill for 40-50 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and the bacon is crispy.
  11. Carefully remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before opening and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
