Happy July 4th everyone!
We know you will be cooking out today, and wanted to throw in a very nice, easy, potato recipe. We have made several variations of this in our cooking class, and today we will give you the works.
There are 2 very important ingredients, first the potatoes. It’s very important to choose a creamer variety, either a gold (Yukon Gold), or Red (Creamer Red) variety of potatoes. Why? the creamer potato is harvested young, and yields a very tender, moisture rich, almost buttery flavor and texture. The second very important ingredient is the onions. The best onion for this recipe is the sweet onion, preferably the Vidalia. Why? The Vidalia is grown in a specific region in Georgia, and in my opinion, even though there are look alikes, the Vidalia is king.
- Cheesy Grilled Potatoes
- 6 to 8 Potatoes (Yukon Gold preferably) (Sliced)
- 2 – sweet Onions (Chopped)
- 1 – Bell Peppers (chopped)
- 1 -stick butter
- 6 to 8 slices – pre-cooked bacon
- 2 cups – Shredded cheddar cheese (or Jack and Colby combo)
- Garlic Lovers Seasoning (or you can use Salt, Pepper, Granulated Garlic)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Combine sliced potatoes, chopped onions, and chopped bell peppers in aluminum foil.
Break bacon into pieces and combine with potatoes.
Drizzle olive oil over potatoes liberally
Place slices of butter evenly across top of mixture
Season liberally with HomeBBQ.com Garlic Lovers Seasoning cook over low heat for 25 to 30 minutes (or until potatoes are soft).
Immediately after Removing from grill, top with shredded cheese, and serve.
Enjoy!
Happy July 4th!
