Ingredients

For the Potatoes:
  • 4 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Parmesan Ranch Sauce:

 

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes:

  1. Preheat Oven or Grill:

    • Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
    • Grill: Preheat to medium-high heat (375-400°F).

  2. Season the Potatoes:

    • In a bowl, toss sliced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. Assemble the Foil Packets:

    • Divide the seasoned potatoes into four pieces of foil (about 12 inches each).
    • Sprinkle each packet with Parmesan cheese.
    • Wrap the foil tightly, sealing the edges to trap steam.

  4. Bake or Grill the Packets:

    • Oven: Bake for 30-35 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
    • Grill: Place packets on the grill and cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway.

Make the Parmesan Ranch Sauce:

  1. Mix the Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning, lemon juice, garlic powder, and black pepper.

  2. Serve & Enjoy:

    • Carefully open foil packets and drizzle with Parmesan ranch sauce.
    • Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan.

Notes

  • Want crispy potatoes? Broil for the last 5 minutes in the oven or place foil packets directly on grill grates.
  • Make it spicy by adding red pepper flakes or cayenne.
  • Perfect for camping! Prep ahead, keep packets chilled, and cook over the campfire.
