Everyone knows that baked potatoes are better when stuffed with cheese and sour cream. But what if we took it up a notch and made a filling inspired by everyone's favorite jalapeño poppers? Well, we did! And the result is cheesy, fluffy baked potatoes with a bit of spice that are perfect for dinner, game day BBQs, or a weekend meal.

Ingredients

  • 5 large potatoes
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 7 oz. white cheddar, diced or shredded
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 6-8 strips cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup jalapenos, minced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 5 tbsp butter

Tools

Directions

  • Preheat your grill or smoker to 350°F
  • Wash potatoes in cold water and pat dry.
  • Toss the potatoes with avocado oil until evenly coated and season with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap each potato tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Place the wrapped potatoes on the top rack of your grill or smoker for about 45-50 minutes.
  • While potatoes are cooking, add cheddar cheese, cream cheese, bacon, jalapenos, sour cream, garlic, salt, and bread crumbs to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to a piping bag and leave out at room temperature.
  • After 45-50 minutes, check the doneness of potatoes by inserting a fork into the middle of a potato. If the fork inserts and comes out easily, the potatoes are done.
  • Remove the potatoes from the grill and unwrap fully or leave foil only on the bottom. Split each open (careful, as they will be hot) and spread 1 tbsp of butter into each. Then, using the piping bag, fill each potato evenly with the premade popper mixture.
  • Place the potatoes back into the grill on the upper rack and continue to cook until the filling is hot and golden brown.
  • Remove from the grill and serve immediately!
