Ingredients

Steps
1
When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 375°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.2
Poke potatoes with a fork, then place straight onto the grill. Cook for 1 hour.3
At the same time, cook bacon on a baking sheet on the grill for about 20 minutes; remove, cool and crumble.4
Once potatoes are done, remove and allow to cool for 15 minutes.5
Cut each potato lengthwise, creating long halves. Use a small spoon to scoop out about 70% of the potato to make a boat, keeping a thick layer of potato near skin.6
Place excess potato in a bowl and reserve. Lightly mash extra potato with a fork; add butter, sour cream, 1/2 cup cheese and season with salt and pepper.7
Take the potato skins and fill with potato mixture, then sprinkle with extra cheese and bacon.8
Place back on grill for about 10 minutes or until warm and cheese has melted. Garnish with green onions and extra sour cream. Enjoy!
