Best Ever Cheesy Grilled Potatoes

Our Fourth of July picnic wasn’t what I expected.  Instead of wanting hamburgers, the kids begged for steak  – of all things.  Since the cuts in the case did look pretty good, we picked one out – and then had to revamp the rest of my planned menu to match this fancier cut of meat.  Steak, potato chips, and baked beans didn’t seem to fit, you know?

 

So, having seen a recipe for grilled potatoes on Pinterest, I decided we’d make up our own – and I’m so glad we did.  My Big Helper declared these to be the “best potatoes ever.”  My Little Man, who rarely eats white potatoes without complaint unless he’s peeling them, gobbled his right up.  My husband didn’t say a word – just reached for more.  

 

Me?  They’re soft and tender, rich and cheesy, so what’s not to like?  But there are two aspects of these potatoes that completely guarantee I’ll make them again:  1) they cook completely on the grill, so they don’t heat up my house by a single degree in this crazy heat, and 2) they cook inside a foil packet, so after cooking, you just throw it away.  No dishes.  Gotta love that.
