- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese - shredded
Instructions

Notes
- Lightly spray the bottom of the foil before placing any food down. Even though the potatoes are lightly coated with olive oil, it's still good to have a slight bit of a non-stick surface.
- If you're also grilling steak or chicken, you can start the potatoes on the part of the grill that's not as hot halfway through the main dish cooking process.
- Place the foil packs on the grill with the SEAM SIDE DOWN for the first 10 minutes.
- Be careful when opening the foil packets, as steam will have formed and will escape when the foil is peeled back.
