Step 1

Wash your potatoes well with a scrubber, and set them aside to dry off. Pat dry or rub with a towel as necessary.

Step 2

Preheat your pellet grill or smoker to 250°.

Step 3

Slice the potatoes in half. If they are particularly big, you can slice them like you would cut a mango, and use the inside slice to make home fries or to dice and put in chowder.

Step 4

Rub the surfaces of the potato with oil and sprinkle with salt.

Step 5

Place the potatoes on the grill, cut-side-up, and cook for about an hour (or until the potatoes are fork-tender.)

Step 6

Turn the grill up to 325°, and top the cooked potatoes with an extra sprinkle of salt and diving the cheese and bacon among them.

Step 7

Grill until the cheese is bubbly and melted, and serve with dollops of sour cream on top.
