Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes
- 1/2 onion
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 1/3 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup bacon bits or leftover bacon
Instructions
- You can make these potatoes in either a foil packet or a foil roasting pan.
- Spray a foil roasting pan with cooking spray. Or lay out a piece of aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray.
- Slice the potatoes into thin slices and place in the foil roasting pan or on the foil. Slice them thin, about 1/8 of an inch is ideal.
- Slice the onion and add on top of the potatoes.
- Pour the barbecue sauce over top of the potatoes.
- Sprinkle half of the cheese on top of the potatoes and put the other half aside for later.
- Mix it all together and cover the pan with foil if using a roasting pan. If using a foil packet put another sheet of foil over the top and crimp the edges to seal the packet.
- Put the potatoes on the grill on medium and let the cook. If using a foil roasting pan it will take about 45-60 minutes to cook. If using a foil packet it will take 15-20 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally or flip the foil packet halfway through.
- The time to cook the potatoes will vary based on how hot your grill is and how thing you sliced the potatoes. The potatoes are done when a form goes into them easily.
- Once the potatoes are cooked remove the potatoes from the grill and add the rest of the cheese.
- Cover and let them rest for 5 more minutes to melt the cheese.
- Add the bacon right before serving.

Notes
- You can pre-cook or parboil the potatoes to make the cooking time shorter. This is especially useful if you are making a large pan of potatoes. To do this put the potatoes in a microwave and cook them for 4 minutes after washing them. The slice them and proceed as directed. This will cut the cooking time for a large pan of potatoes to about 30 minutes.
