Steps

  • 1

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 450℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

    450 ˚F / 232 ˚C

  • 2

    Scrub the potatoes under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Poke in several places with a fork.

    Ingredients
    • 8 Medium russet potatoes

  • 3

    Arrange the potatoes directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and bake for about 75 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.

  • 4

    Use oven mitts to transfer the potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet. Let the potatoes cool slightly, 5-10 minutes.

  • 5

    Reduce the Traeger temperature to 375℉.

  • 6

    Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then scoop the potato flesh into a large bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick layer of flesh in the potato skins.

  • 7

    With an electric hand mixer, whip the potatoes on low speed for about 30 seconds. Slowly add the hot milk and melted butter. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip until the potatoes are fluffy and smooth, 1 1/2-2 minutes. Stir in the chives, if using, and bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
