    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!
