Smoky Cheddar Potatoes Recipes

GRILLED SMOKY CHEDDAR POTATOES FOIL PACK

Steps:

• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Place potatoes on 30x18-inch piece of heavy-duty foil. Sprinkle with salt. Dot with butter. Sprinkle with cheese and bacon chips.
• Wrap foil securely around potatoes; pierce top of foil once or twice with fork to vent steam. Cover and grill foil packet, seam side up, 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 45 to 60 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with onions.

SMOKY CHEDDAR, CHORIZO AND SWEET POTATO POT PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to a large saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the celery and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, chorizo, sweet potatoes and peas. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the flour. Stir and cook to remove the raw flour flavor, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the vegetable stock and the cream. Bring to a simmer to allow the sauce to thicken; it should coat the back of a spoon, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the cheese and the parsley and remove from the heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Place six 8-ounce ramekins in a baking dish or a rimmed baking sheet. Fill each with the chorizo mixture until 1/2-inch from the top (the number of pies you get depends on the size of the ramekins). Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, roll out the pie crust and, using a large biscuit cutter, cut a circle of dough large enough to cover the entire top of the ramekin and fall over the sides. Repeat until all the ramekins are covered. Brush the dough with the egg, cut 2 to 3 slits in the top to allow steam to escape and bake until golden and the dough is cooked through, 20 to 22 minutes.

SMOKY CHEDDAR POTATO FOIL PACK

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 30x18-inch piece of heavy-duty foil. Place potato chunks on foil; sprinkle with salt. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over potatoes. Sprinkle with cheese and bacon bits.
• Bring up 2 sides of foil over potatoes 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. Pierce top of foil once or twice with fork to vent steam.
• Place foil packet, seam side up, on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 45 to 60 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Carefully fold back foil. Sprinkle onions over potato mixture.
