Calories 585kcal
Ingredients
- 4 Russet potatoes medium size
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp BBQ General SPG rub see above for alternative
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 slices bacon thick cut
- ½ cup sour cream for dipping
- 1 green onion for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to 400°F.
- Wash your potatoes. Lay down a sheet of foil for each potato. Coat the potato in olive oil, then season with BBQ SPG rub (1/4 tbsp per potato).
- Wrap each potato tightly in foil and place directly on the grates of the grill.
- Let the potatoes cook for about 45 minutes, or until they are fork tender.
- While your potatoes are cooking, fry up the bacon until crispy, then crumble and set aside.
- Once your potatoes are fork tender, remove them from the grill, unwrap and let them sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Slice each potato in half lengthways and use a spoon to scoop out the filling. You should leave about ½” of potato lining the inside of your potato skin.
- Lay the potato skins out on a tray and sprinkle some seasoning on the inside. Fill each skin with the cheese and top with crumbled bacon.
- Place your potato skins back on the grill for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and starting to turn golden brown at the edges.
- Remove your potato skins from the grill, top them with green onions, and serve immediately with sour cream for dipping.
