BBQ Peeled Hasselback Potatoes with Bacon Wrapped in Tin Foil are a tasty and simple side dish for any BBQ or outdoor gathering. The bacon gives the potatoes a smoky flavor, and the garlic butter mixture keeps them moist and tender.

Instructions: Preheat the grill to medium-high temperature. Crosswise slice the peeled potatoes at 1/8 inch intervals, being careful not to cut all the way through. Wrap a slice of bacon around each potato. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the minced garlic. Cook until the mixture is fragrant. Brush the garlic butter mixture over the potatoes, making sure to get in between the slices. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, and top with a sprig of thyme. Wrap each potato in tin foil, making sure to seal the foil tightly. Cook the foil-wrapped potatoes on the grill for 35-40 minutes, or until they are tender. Remove the foil and carefully unwrap it from the grill. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Foil dinners is a family favorite in this house year-round. You can get as creative as you want for the veggies (bell pepper, zucchini, onion, carrot, etc.). For the carbs I usually reach for sweet potatoes or red potatoes (skin on). The meat is always hormone- and antibiotic-free beef or ground turkey. Season however you want but simple (Himalayan) salt and pepper do it for me. Bake for an hour at 400F and done!
