When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until a fire is established (4-5 minutes). Turn temperature to 375 degrees F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.

Poke potatoes with a fork, place straight onto the grill. Cook for 1 hour.

At the same time, cook bacon on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes; remove, cool, and crumble.

Once potatoes are done, remove and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

Cut each potato lengthwise, creating long halves. Use a small spoon to scoop out about 70% of the potato to make a boat. – keep a thick layer of potato near skin. Place excess potato in a bowl and reserve.

Lightly mash extra potato with a fork; add butter, sour cream, ½ cup cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Take the potato skins and fill with potato mixture, then sprinkle with extra cheese and bacon.

Place back on grill for about 10 minutes or until warm and cheese has melted. Garnish with green onions and extra sour cream. Enjoy!
