Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 2 pounds Baby Red Potatoes or Baby Yukon Golds Avoid Russets as they can become mealy.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Feel free to use vegetable oil as a substitute.
For the Flavor
  • 1 packet Ranch Seasoning Mix Opt for a homemade mix if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter You can use salted butter for convenience.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper For the best taste, use freshly ground black pepper.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese Avoid spicy cheeses that conflict with the ranch flavor.
  • 1 cup Bacon (cooked, crumbled) Skip this for a vegetarian twist.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives A lovely garnish.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • large mixing bowl
  • Aluminum Foil

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat, aiming for about 375°F.
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry the baby red or Yukon gold potatoes; cut each into 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss the potato pieces with olive oil, ranch seasoning, and black pepper.
  4. Lay down heavy-duty aluminum foil and mound the seasoned potatoes in the center; add butter pats on top.
  5. Seal the foil around the potatoes and grill for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Check for doneness; the potatoes should be fork-tender and golden brown.
  7. For extra char, remove the foil and grill cut-side down for the last 5 minutes.
  8. Top the grilled potatoes with shredded cheddar and crumbled bacon, allowing the cheese to melt.
  9. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh chives.
