Step-by-Step Instructions for Grilled Ranch Potatoes
  1. Wash the small red or Yukon gold potatoes thoroughly and cut them into uniform 1-inch chunks.
  2. Drizzle the potato chunks with extra virgin olive oil, then add ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Preheat the grill to 400°F. Ensure grill grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  4. Prepare a heavy-duty piece of aluminum foil. Place the seasoned potato chunks in the center and fold the foil around them to form a sealed packet.
  5. Grill the foil packet on the grates for 10 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for an additional 10 minutes.
  6. Open the foil packet carefully, sprinkle with cheese, bacon bits, and parsley, then close and grill for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with green onions alongside your favorite grilled meats.
