These are so good. After being grilled, the potatoes are filled with good-tasting tidbits. I usually grill these along with some chicken.

Filling Grilled Potato Skins ready to be enjoyed.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Grilling the potatoes gives these potato skins a smoky, crispy skin you can't get from the oven. It's a game changer when making potato skins. The gooey cheddar cheese and smoky bacon are traditional potato skin ingredients. We loved the spice picante sauce adds. A dollop of sour cream, along with fresh green onions and chopped tomatoes, tones the heat down. We're a big fan of grilling potatoes now!
