Too much margarine, too much onion, and again ... TOO MUCH MARGARINE.I even used half the margarine due to other reviews and it was too much. One onion is plenty, used shredded cheddar also. 4 stars with changes ... 2 star greasy mess without changes.

This is a quick and super yummy addition to grilled chicken. My kids LOVED them. We added a little garlic powder and they were fab.

Thanks for such a great recipe. I followed it exactly, and it turned out great! This will defintely be a usual side dish anytime I barbeque.

The first time I made this, the American cheese seperated into oil and orange goo. I ended up throwing out the entire pan. Since then, I have made the following changes: use a Reynold non-stick aluminim pan, grill the onions briefly before adding to the pan, use real bacon bits and use a 1/2 and 1.2 mix of sharp cheddar cheese and Colby Jack. We now love this!

Just tried this - substituted slices of garlic and real bacon bits - used processed cheese but would probably use another next time; everyone liked it. Easy to make.

Okay, I made this super easy - used diced, frozen hash browns, pre-cooked bacon, and pre-grated co-jack cheese. And it was still a 5 star recipe! I cooked them in a cast iron pan on the grill, started them about 15 minutes before my steaks, and they all finished together. Scrumptious!

These were good, but I wasn't completely thrilled with the American cheese flavor. I think I would have liked it a bit more if there was another kind of cheese. I will make again, but change up to suit our personal tastes. Thanks for the post.

These were good, but think they can be improved by adding garlic, using grated sharp cheddar, and real bacon.

These are easy, simple and tasty. I actually baked them in the oven due to technical issues with our grill and they still turned out great. The cheese and bacon really add something to the dish. Make sure you spray your foil or all the cheese will stick and that is the best part.

These were pretty good. I didn't use all of the butter. I just sprayed the inside of the foil really well with cooking spray. Depending on the thickness of the cut of the potatoes, that's going to impact the cooking time. The thinner the cut the less time. Overall a really good recipe.

Very, very, very good...just be sure to turn them once or twice while they are cooking. I used the Reynolds foil bag for this. Only serves 4 in our household.

We loved this and i decided to try and make this while reducing the amount of potatoes in order to cut some of the carbs. So i decided to use half potatoes and half diced cabbage. Everything remained the same except i used real cheddar. This was delicious and still very filling with the cabbage added in. Will make it this way again.

Awesome side dish for the Grill!!! Spring-like temps had us grilling out yesterday and we needed a side dish for brats/burgers, salad and deviled eggs. This was it. Only things I did different--used 1/2 cup margarine and subbed shredded cheese for American slices. Will be using this frequently from now on.....Yummy! Thanks Jen, this is a wonderful, easy keeper.

This was wonderful! We used precooked bacon (we'd cooked 2 lbs before we went camping) and cheddar cheese. Also since we ended up making it at home (I got sick the day we were going to leave for camping so we left the next morning) my husband cooked it in a glass dish on the grill. The potatoes were wonderfully crip and it was so yummy! Scott even had an extra serving! I can't wait to try this whil camping! Thanks for posting it.
