Grilled Potato Medley with Bacon – A delicious medley of potatoes and summer vegetables topped with bacon and cheese. An easy summer side dish for grilling.
This recipe came about last week when I got a boatload of squash in our awesome deal of the week. Trying to figure out how to use in way that pleases the kids. ย What doesn’t please the kids? Yellow squash on a plate.
What does please the kids? Yellow squash on a plate surrounded by the great goodness of other vegetables topped with bacon and cheese. They gobbled it up good too.ย Woo-hoo. Mom for the win. ๐
One of the reasons I love this dish is because it uses the grill. I love to grill outside. I love the flavor. I love being outside on the deck on summer nights. And I love finding new dishes that the whole family will enjoy that use the bounty of summer.
Aren’t these colors just gorgeous though? I love the pop of the orange and green and yellow.
I’m hoping your family will love this one too!
Til we meet and eat again,
