These grilled potatoes in foil are diced potatoes cooked in ranch butter, then topped with melted cheese, bacon, sour cream and chives. All the flavors of a loaded baked potato in foil packet form!
Preheat a grill to medium heat or an oven to 400 degrees F.
Coat 4 large squares of foil with cooking spray.
Place the potatoes in a large bowl along with the butter and ranch seasoning. Toss to coat.
Divide the potatoes evenly among the foil squares. Fold up the foil to seal the packets.
Bake or grill for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Open the foil packets and add the cheese and bacon. Leave the packets open and return to the oven or grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Top each packet with a tablespoon of sour cream and sprinkling of chives, then serve immediately.

You can use either ranch dressing powder or ranch dip powder, either will work just fine.
