Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by washing 2 pounds of red or Yukon gold potatoes thoroughly, then slice them into uniform 1-inch chunks.
  2. Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil with 1 ounce of ranch seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Whisk together until smooth.
  3. Let the Potatoes Marinate: Allow the seasoned potatoes to sit for about 10 minutes.
  4. Create the Foil Packet: Transfer the seasoned potato chunks onto a heavy-duty aluminum foil sheet, fold the edges together to seal.
  5. Grill the Potatoes: Carefully place the foil packet directly on the grill grates and grill for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Add the Toppings: After grilling, sprinkle the toppings over the cooked potatoes and return to the grill for an additional 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with green onions.
