Directions

1. Light up your grill with FOGO Premium Lump Charcoal and set it up for indirect heat at 350 degrees. Bake the potatoes whole on the grill until tender. Remove the potatoes and then set up the grill for direct heat while the potatoes cool.
2. Slice off ends of the potato and cut into ¾” medallions. Lay the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Melt the butter and brush it on the potatoes. Season them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
3. Your grill should be set up for direct heat at 350 degrees. Using tongs, put the potatoes on the grate and grill them until crispy. To get nice grill marks, rotate the potatoes 90 degrees halfway through.  If they stick, just wait another minute and they will release from the grate once it sears and crisps up. Just before flipping, brush the top side with butter and season with salt and pepper. Remove the potatoes once both sides are crispy and browned.
4. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on the potatoes. Add a small dollop of sour cream followed by some more cheese. Sprinkle on bacon bits and chives and serve hot.

* If you want an appetizer, try using baby red potatoes sliced thin and baked on some parchment paper. Once crispy, remove and add the toppings for a bite-sized snack!
