How to Make Smoky Cheddar Potatoes

  1. Preheat grill to medium heat (or preheat oven to 350°F).
  2. Place 2 lbs. of small red potatoes (halved or quartered if large) on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. Sprinkle generously with 1 tsp salt.
  4. Dot with 4 tbsp butter, then sprinkle with 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon.
  5. Wrap foil securely around potatoes, creating a sealed packet. Pierce the top of the foil once or twice with a fork to vent steam.
  6. Grill foil packet, seam side up, 4 to 6 inches from medium heat for 45 to 60 minutes (or bake in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes), or until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  7. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped green onions before serving.
