I made it in a foil covered pan and it turned out great.

These were AMAZING!! I was only cooking for two, so as others suggested, I just mixed everything up in an 8×8 throw-away aluminum cake pan and covered with foil. This worked very nicely, as I could easily peek and poke to see if the potatoes were done yet, and there was no mixing bowl to clean when I was done. I scaled down to 2 potatoes sliced in circles and used half a can of cream of mushroom, but did not skimp on the cheese or mushrooms at all. In fact, I used 2 cups of cheese instead of just 1, and it worked out perfectly for us, but then we LOVE cheese. This dish is incredibly versatile, and could be easily dressed up by tossing in different garnishes, but it’s perfectly fine all on its own. I’m thinking I could even make it an entire meal by tossing in ground beef or some smoked sausages and maybe even some veggies . If you go the aluminum pan route, do not forget to spray with cooking spray before dumping everything into it! These were done in about 15 minutes on my charcoal grill, but this particular batch of charcoal was burning much hotter than normal, so it might have taken more like 25-30 mins under normal circumstances. Can’t wait to try them in camp!

Pit them on the oven instead of grill. Very tasty

Made this while camping. This was the BEST potato dish I have EVER made. My partner begged me to make it again……not once but several times. I served it with sour cream and it was absolute heaven (if you don’t think about the calories you are consuming…..). Highly HIGHLY recommended…..

Really nice change of pace with potatoes on the grill. I used 3 Russets ( 8 would too many for us ) and used an aluminum pan with raise ribs in it like a broiler pan . ( It was a single use pan I buy at my grocery store that works great on my grill.) Would make it again but would add more cheese …….. too much is not enough are my words to live by !

Made for girls’ camping weekend – prepped the sauce ahead of time, sliced potatoes and put in foil when we were ready to eat. I would strongly suggest spraying oil/butter on the foil before wrapping to avoid all the good stuff sticking to the foil. I also cooked “upside down” for the first 10 minutes or so, to make sure the potatoes on the bottom were soft. And I used bacon bits instead of “real” bacon and chives in place of green onion but everything else was the same and this was so easy and delicious!

I made this recipe this evening, and it is no longer in my favorites. Read the warnings about cooking times, kept that in mind while cooking everything else, and the potatoes were still not soft after one hour. The potatoes were eventually presented and there was a lackluster response.

I used a disposable aluminum pan instead of making individual packets. Because there was no room on the grill I used the oven. Otherwise I used the ingredients as listed, and because I have made this type of casserole before I planned for a longer cooking time. Everyone liked the potatoes, but I thought they were a little bland. I will make it again adjusting the seasoning to suit my taste.

Simple and yummy! Easy to prepare before…..so its a win win!!
Amanda Harris
This was very good and quick scalloped potato recipe. at the last minute I had all ingredients in hand. I cooked it in a 13×11 baking dish covered in tin foil at 350 degrees for 30 min. it was wonderful!
Kenneth Leonard
This was an easy and VERY delicious potato recipe!!! I used yellow onion instead of the green onion. I grilled on the BBQ for 30 minutes! Next time I will add the sautéed mushrooms.
Tom Lin
This recipe is perfect for me. I use a wood cook stove for all my baking and cooking. Unless it is summer and we have a fire on the outdoor grill. The only thing I did different was omit the mushrooms… the grocery store is 30 minutes away, on snowy back roads! Otherwise, the dish was marvelous. I was happy to find this unique and tasty dish on this site. Potatoes can be so very boring, hence the reason we eat a lot of rice dishes. A refreshing change to the ordinary! Will definitely make it again, next time I manage to get to the grocery store through all this snow and ice! Thanks for sharing!

You need to: – Add bacon bits – Slice potatoes into slivers and rotate potato, onion, potato, onion – Keep top bent over so you can rotate left to right and check to make sure they aren’t burned – cream of chicken or chicken stock works well
Ryan Burch
Bland.

These potatoes turned out amazing! I had to find a potato recipe that take up room in my oven so I tried this & let me tell you, I will ALWAYS make these in the future. Here are the few changes I made to suit my needs. I found I only needed (& could only fit) 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced, instead of 8. However, they were russet potatoes & very large. Instead of only using cheddar I used half sharp cheddar & half pepper jack for a nice little kick. I also used 4 garlic cloves finely chopped. I didn’t use the mushrooms. I put the entire mixture in a large foil pan covered with foil (but not before sprinkling a little extra cheese on top of course). Then I placed on the grill, medium heat for 40 minutes. They came out bubbly & perfectly cooked!
Sara King
Awesome!!!! So easy to make. Next time, though, I will double the chesse sauce just because I love my food with extra sauce
Jennifer Beasley
Made in a sauce pan o the stove.
Christina Wood
I cut the recipe way down for the two of us and made just two packets. Only ingredient I didn’t have was the mushrooms (but might use them next time). These came out just great. Best part was that on a hot,humid day the entire dinner was on the grill! Love it and will be making these all summer long.
Traci Wilson
This is awesome! I didn’t have cheddar so I used what I had at the time (Colby ) and reduced the butter by a 3rd and turn out great. This will be a go to side!
Rebecca Hamilton
This recipe is a staple for us while camping. Little fuss, little muss! We rotate back and forth between cream of mushroom and chicken soup depending on what’s grilling… HELPFUL HINT: To cook a little faster precook your potatoes, but do not slice them until you are ready to cook – this saves on propane or briquettes. Or buy the Simply Potatoes which are already pre-sliced and ready to go. Great timesaving steps!!!
Ashley Gray
These were a hit at my house – they got perfectly crispy and fell right off the foil, absolutely delicious – my new favorite.
