Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp butter (optional, for extra creaminess)

  • Foil, for grilling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. Scrub potatoes clean and pierce them with a fork a few times.

  3. Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap tightly in foil.

  4. Place wrapped potatoes on the grill and cook for 45–60 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender when pierced with a knife.

  5. Carefully unwrap and slice open. Fluff the insides with a fork and add a bit of butter if desired.

  6. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, bacon, and green onions. Serve hot and melty!

Notes

  • For a shortcut, microwave potatoes for 5–6 minutes first, then finish them on the grill for 20–25 minutes.

  • Swap in Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.

  • Try adding jalapeños or chopped tomatoes for extra flavor.
