Grilled Twice Baked Potato Recipe

Whoever created the “Twice Baked Potato” recipe has my eternal appreciation and loyalty! A masterpiece of simplicity and flavor packed into a potato, brilliant! Perfect for the grill with those smoky aromas sending it over the top in my book. This is a recipe I use in my grilling classes, we usually run out of samples before I get to try any so I decided to add it to my BBQ Rib dinner, prepared on my Camp Chef Big Gas Grill awhile back. Only 9 ingredients required, about an hour of patience, an a willingness to fight for one at the dinner table is all you'll need to be a grill hero with this recipe.

Start your cook with well scrubbed potatoes. The recipe is for 6 large Russet potatoes but I'm only cooking 3. This will give me 6 halves, perfect! Bake them for at least 1 hour till a fork can be inserted into the potato easily. 350 degrees F indirect heat.

Once your potatoes are done, cut them in half and let them sit to cool, about twenty minutes. Scoop out the potato meat leaving at least a 1/4 inch of potato meat connected to the skin. Set aside the potato meat for the next step.

Place all of you recipe ingredients and potato meat into a large bowl, mix thoroughly.

At this point I find myself tasting a bit to much of the Twice Baked Potato Stuffing mixture, it's so good just like this!

Now is the time to stuff your potatoes for the second bake. Pack them full and high!

Back on the grill for the second bake. This should take about 20 – 30 minutes more. The secret here is to not over bake and dry out the potatoes. They will turn a beautiful amber color on the top!

Bet ya can't just eat one!
