I have a million potato recipes. We like them all kinds of ways. I've done potatoes on the grill before, but always in a packet or a grill pan. I saw this recipe on TOH while poking around one day and put it straight on the to-try list.
There's a few steps involved,
but overall if you've got things laid out it all comes together fast. I
didn't get out a ruler when I cut the excess off the potatoes, but I'm
sure I left a little more than 1/4", so I microwaved mine the full 10
mins. I browned the bacon while waiting for the potatoes to come out
of the microwave. The butter mixture comes together in just a few
mins.
When I go out to eat, I will often get an appetizer
as my meal... This fits that bill perfectly. The crisp skin and the
fluffy potato, topped with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and a dollop of
sour cream. I did intend on swapping the green onions out for chives,
and then totally forgot. :)
Get those grills going and give this one a try!
