Ingredients:
- 700 grams of potatoes (preferably Aussie spuds like Sebago or Pontiac)
- ⅓ Cup Ranch Dressing
- 4 rashers of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ¼ Cup shredded cheddar or Tasty cheese
- A handful of bush basil or parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- Pepper, to taste
- Non-stick cooking spray for greasing
Preparation Time & Cooking Time:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30-35 minutes
Steps:
- Prepping the Grill: Heat up your grill to about 175°C (350°F).
- Potato Prep: Give the potatoes a good scrub under water. Slice them thinly and uniformly for even cooking. Using a mandoline slicer can be handy for this.
- Ready the Foil: If you've got heavy-duty foil, great. If not, go with a double layer. Slice off a piece large enough to encompass the potatoes and leave room for folding. Give it a good spray with the non-stick cooking spray.
- Dress 'Em Up: Toss the sliced potatoes in the ranch dressing till they're well coated. Lay them out on your prepped foil. Now, go ahead and sprinkle the bacon, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and your choice of herb on top.
- Grill Time: With the grill's heat at medium, place your potato-filled foil onto it. Allow them to cook for about 15 minutes, then carefully flip the foil packet over. Continue to grill for another 15-20 minutes. Your potatoes should be beautifully tender and ready to eat by the end of it.
Tips:
- Foil Safety: When flipping the foil or checking the potatoes, be cautious to avoid burns.
- Cheese Choices: Feel free to experiment with local Aussie cheese varieties. Something with a good melt factor is preferred.
- Dipping Sauce: These potatoes are great on their own, but for an added zing, you might consider serving them with a side of aioli or tomato chutney.
Tuck into these taters, and you'll know why they're perfect for any bush gathering. Enjoy your meal, mate!
