This Foil Packet Potatoes recipe is perfect for either grilling or camping! I love how simple they are to make, with minimal cleanup afterward. But honestly, the best part? Each packet can also be changed to make picky eaters happy, a total win with kids!
Since better weather has started, we have been doing family get-together BBQs at least once a weekend. We all love having quick and easy food to grill to enjoy playtime and conversation. With camping season upon us, at the last get-together, we brought foil-packed potatoes to test out. They’re super easy to throw on the grill, and they turned out amazing.

How To Make Foil Packet Potatoes:
Take the time to properly wash, peel, and chop your potatoes and veggies.
Chop up your bacon into small pieces or cut it up with scissors.
Cook your bacon a bit, but not to where it is done. The bacon will cook the rest of the way on the grill in the foil packet.
Cut tin foil wide enough for the potatoes and filling ingredients.
Sprinkle the tin foil with olive oil or spray with a nonstick spray.
Spread the potatoes onto the oiled tin foil.
Layer the onions, bacon, peppers, and season to taste.
Seal up the foil tightly this will allow it to cook on the grill.
Throw on the top rack of the grill and allow to cook for about 30 minutes.
Take the potatoes off the grill and top with shredded cheese, green onion, sour cream, and/or other toppings of your choice.
Other Ways To Cook Foil Packet Potatoes:
In the oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.
On the smoker at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or more, depending on how your smoke is maintaining temperature.
This one will have to be watched in the campfire because campfire heat isn’t as regulated, but will be tasty.
Other Seasonings And Ingredients For Foil Packet Potatoes:
- Polish Sausage
- Kielbasa
