Spring is finally here in the Northwest and I couldn’t be more excited about the nice weather we have had! Ever since the nicer weather started, we have been doing family get-together BBQ’s at least once a weekend. We all love to have quick and easy food to grill so we can enjoy the play time and conversation. That is why we really do get-togethers with people – so we can talk and the kids can run around like crazy and wear themselves out. With camping season upon us, at the last get-together, we brought foil packet potatoes. They’re super easy to throw on the grill and they turned out amazing! (I have included links to some great products that I have bought on my own to make my journey easier. You can buy them too through my online sales links.)
Foil Packet Potatoes Ingredients:
- Olive oil
- 8 potatoes
- 1 orange bell pepper, sliced
- Half pack of partially cooked bacon, chopped
- Diced onions
- Seasoning, to taste (We used Montreal steak seasoning, garlic salt, black pepper, and Himalayan pink salt)
- Shredded cheese, to taste (We used a Mexican three cheese blend)
- Sour cream
- Green onion
Foil Packet Potatoes Directions:
Wash, peel, and chop the potatoes. Cut the veggies.
Cut tin foil wide enough for the potatoes. Spread a little bit of oil on the tin foil. Spread potatoes on the oiled tin foil.
Layer the onions, bacon, peppers, and season to taste.
Seal up the foil.
Throw on the top rack of 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.
Have you made foil packet potatoes before? What toppings have you put on yours?

You do not have to peel the potatoes just clean them well. The peel on a lot of vegetables is not only edible but good for you !
