Ingredients

For the potatoes

  • 6 medium red potatoes rinsed
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 6 slices bacon half cooked (I just toss them in the microwave for a few minutes, but you can also partially cook them when you cook the other 2 slices below)
  • 2 slices bacon cooked, crumbled
  • 1-2 jalapenos seeded, diced
  • ¾ cup extra sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2-1 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 1 green onion sliced, for garnish

For the sour cream topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Brush the potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place in the oven directly over the rack over a foil-lined baking sheet (to catch any drippings).
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until just tender. Remove and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients and mix well.
  • Cut just a bit off each end of the potatoes so that they stand up straight on one end.
  • Using a small melon baller, scoop out the inside of the potato (from the top flat side). Leave about 1/4" or so of the potato 'walls'.
  • Wrap each potato with a piece of partially cooked bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  • Stuff the potatoes with crumbled cooked bacon, jalapenos, and cheese.
  • Fire up your grill for indirect cooking, 350-400 F.
  • Place potatoes on the grill and grill for about 30 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Brush with the BBQ sauce every 10 minutes.
  • Serve garnished with the sour cream topping and green onions.
