Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.25 lb russet potatoes about 4 medium
  • 2.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
  • 0.75 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3.5 tbsp unsalted butter cut into pats
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 0.75 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 0.25 cup fresh chives thinly sliced
  • 3 oz cooked bacon crumbled; optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat grill to medium heat, about 375–400°F, for indirect cooking.
  • Scrub potatoes and dry well. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
  • Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to coat evenly.
  • Wrap each potato tightly in heavy-duty foil, sealing the seams well.
  • Place potatoes over indirect heat. Close lid and grill 50–65 minutes, turning halfway.
  • Check doneness by sliding a skewer through the center; it should glide easily.
  • Unwrap and move to direct heat for 3–5 minutes to crisp the skins, if desired.
  • Split potatoes, fluff with a fork, and top with butter, cheddar, sour cream, chives, and bacon.

Notes

Swap cheddar for pepper jack and add a pinch of chili powder for heat. Leftovers keep 3 days refrigerated; reheat in a 400°F oven until hot and crisp, or cube and pan-fry for breakfast potatoes.
