Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
  • 6 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 ½ cups shredded gouda cheese
  • 2 tablespoon diced chives
  • salt +black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your Traeger grill to 375F and let it heat up for 15 minutes with the lid closed.
  • Prepare the potatoes by washing them and rubbing them with the vegetable oil. Lightly salt the potatoes. Use a fork to poke holes several times in each potato.
  • Place the potatoes directly on the Traeger grill grates and close the lid. Depending on the size of the potato, they should take between 45 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Check for doneness by poking the potatoes with a fork. When the fork easily pokes through the potato, they are ready to remove.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the rest of the toppings. Cook the 6 slices of bacon and dice them into small pieces. Shred the gouda cheese and dice the chives.
  • To assemble the baked potatoes, cut a large slit through the top. First season the inside of the potato with salt and pepper. Next, add the butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon and chives.
