How to make Labor Day potato recipes:

1. Grilled 'baked' potatoes. This is a very simple dish to make, and it won't require you to turn on your oven. Since most Labor Day parties include grilling out, you can easily add these to the top rack of your grill as you cook the rest of your food. To make, pierce each potato with a fork and lay on a sheet of aluminum foil.  Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with seasoning. Wrap and grill until cooked through (about one hour).
2. Hobo potatoes. The second of our Labor Day recipes is great if you enjoy eating homemade potato chips. Slice potatoes into chip-like shapes and toss in butter. Place in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for five minutes. Then, cook in a pan until brown and crunchy.
3. Cheesy bacon potatoes. Labor Day potato recipes are the perfect side dish for any main dish, and this one is no exception. To make, cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place in a shallow baking dish. Top with butter (cut into small tabs) and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss with both cheeses and sprinkle bacon bits all over the top. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
