A delightful twist on BBQ potatoes, these stuffed potatoes are filled with flavorful ingredients and grilled to perfection.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
Scrubbing the potatoes well ensures no dirt remains on the skin, which is edible and adds texture.
Cut a V-shaped wedge lengthwise out of the top of each potato.
Make the cut deep enough to create a cavity for the stuffing but not too deep to break the potato.
Season the cut sides of the potatoes with salt and pepper.
Seasoning at this stage allows the flavors to penetrate the potato during cooking.
Insert a wedge of onion and a slice of bell pepper into each potato cavity, then top with a teaspoon of butter.
Ensure the stuffing is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Wrap a slice of bacon around each potato and secure it with a toothpick if needed.
Wrapping the bacon tightly helps it stay in place during grilling.
Wrap each potato in a piece of foil, sealing it tightly.
Sealing the foil well traps steam, cooking the potato evenly.
Place the wrapped potatoes on a preheated grill over medium heat. Cook for 35-40 minutes, turning occasionally.
Turning the potatoes ensures even cooking and prevents burning.
Carefully open the foil and return the potatoes to the grill. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes to crisp the bacon.
Watch closely during this step to avoid overcooking the bacon.
Sprinkle the potatoes with grated parmesan cheese and cook for another 5 minutes.
Adding the cheese at the end prevents it from burning and ensures a melty topping.
Serve the potatoes hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serving the potatoes immediately ensures the best texture and flavor.
