Preparation

  1. Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 2 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
  2. Add cut potatoes, green chiles, oil and taco seasoning mix to medium bowl; stir until evenly coated. Place equal amount of mixture on center of each sheet of foil.
  3. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
  4. Place packs on grill over medium heat (350°F to 400°F). Cover grill; cook 12 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 12 to 14 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender. Remove packs from grill, cut large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil, and sprinkle potatoes with cheese. Top with desired fresh toppings.

Expert Tips

  • Try these additional fresh toppings: salsa, sour cream and green onions.
  • Baby Yukon potatoes can be halved and used in place of regular Yukon potatoes.
