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

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
