Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 russet potato medium sized
  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup sour cream plus more for serving
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • chives optional garnish

Instructions

  • Set your Traeger or pellet grill to 400F
  • Wash the potatoes well. Use a fork to poke holes a couple times in each potato. Rub the outside of each potato with a small amount of vegetable oil and season with Traeger Rub.
  • Once the Traeger has preheated with the lid closed for 15 minutes, place the potatoes directly on the grill grates for 1 hour or until they reach an internal temperature of 180F.
  • While the potatoes cook, prepare the bacon and shred the cheese.
  • After the potatoes have cooked for an hour, check to see if they are fork tender. Depending on the size of the potato, they may need more time.
  • Remove the potatoes to a baking sheet or cutting board. Give the, a few minutes to cool off before handling.
  • Cut off the top ⅓ of the potato and scoop the white potato flesh into the bowl of your stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Leave a ¼ inch around the edge of the potato peel so it doesn't fall apart.
  • Add the butter, sour cream, shredded cheese and bacon bits to the potato and mix to combine. Taste the potato filling and season with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Fill each potato shell with the filling and top with extra shredded cheese.
  • Return the potatoes to the smoker and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted on top.
  • Remove from the smoker and serve with sour cream and diced chives if desired.
