Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C) or preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. 2

   Wash and dice potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Leave skin on for extra texture and nutrients.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, toss diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

4. 4

   Cut four large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12x18 inches each.

5. 5

   Divide the seasoned potatoes evenly among the four pieces of foil, placing them in the center.

6. 6

   Top each portion with 1 tablespoon of butter.

7. 7

   Fold the foil over the potatoes and crimp the edges tightly to create sealed packets, leaving a little room inside for steam.

8. 8

   If grilling: Place foil packets on the grill, close the lid, and cook for 30-35 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

9. 9

   If baking: Place foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes.

10. 10

    Carefully open one packet to check if potatoes are tender. They should be easily pierced with a fork.

11. 11

    Once potatoes are cooked, carefully open each packet (watch out for hot steam).

12. 12

    Top each packet with crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.

13. 13

    Reseal the packets and return to grill or oven for 3-5 minutes until cheese melts.

    Carefully open packets and transfer to serving plates.

    Top with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with fresh chives.
