  • Cook bacon until crispy and chop.
  • Prepare pellet grill for indirect cooking at 350°F.
  • Wash potatoes and pat dry with paper towel.
  • Place potatoes on grill and cook until tender. (when a skewer slides in easily they’re done)
  • Slice the tops off each potato and scoop out the insides into a large bowl. Add butter, sour cream, half the cheese, AP Seasoning, bacon, and green onion (reserve a little bacon and green onion for garnish).
  • Stir to combine and spoon the mixture back into each hollowed out potato.
  • Top with a heaping pile of pulled pork and drizzle with BBQ Sauce.
  • Add the remaining cheese to the top of each potato and return to the pit for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts.
  • Garnish with remaining green onion and crumbled bacon and serve.

Notes

Alternative:
One day I made Pulled Pork Jalapeno Poppers, and I had quite a few left over.  I decided to incorporate these into the potatoes.  I sliced up four of them very thinly, and then reduced a few of the other ingredients, like the bacon and sour cream.  They were absolutely delicious.
