Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs. The Little Potato Company's Little Charmers
  • 1/4 cup olive oil divided
  • Kosher salt
  • 5-6 slices good quality bacon cooked crisp
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • Sour cream and chives for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large piece of heavy duty foil place in the potatoes and drizzle with half the 1/4 cup of olive oil. Sprinkle on the Kosher salt and toss to coat. Seal up the foil pouch and BBQ on medium high indirect heat for 35-40 min. or until just done. Let cool to touch.
  • Slice potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out a small amount from each potato and reserve for another use. Using a grapefruit spoon works well, careful not to take out too much potato or to puncture the skin. Lay out on a tray and brush the open sides with the remaining olive oil.
  • BBQ cup side down on medium high to get grill marks. Place on a foil tray.
  • Fill each skin with a small amount of cheddar cheese and them bacon, (you can make them to this point ahead of time and refrigerate).
  • Place the foil tray on the BBQ on indirect heat again and close lid. BBQ until the cheese melts.
  • Top each skin with a dab of sour cream and chives.
