Equipment

  • Grill or Smoker

Ingredients
  

  • 8 Large Baking Potatoes such as Idaho or Russet
  • 1 Stick Butter Softened
  • 1 Cup Sour Cream
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 8 Ounce Cream Cheese Softened
  • ¼ Cup Chopped Green Onions
  • 10 Slices Bacon Fried and chopped
  • 1 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese Shredded
  • ⅓ Cup Green Hot Sauce Such as Secret Aardvark Serrabanero Green Hot Sauce
  • 8 Jalapenos Halved and seeds removed
  • 1 Cup Pepper Jack or Habanero Cheese Smoked Pepper Jack is even better

Instructions
 

  • Rinse each potato, poke several times with a fork and wrap in foil.
  • Bake at 400 degrees in the oven for an hour or until baked. Cool on the counter until they are at a temp that you can handle them. If you prefer a softer jalapeno you can also roast the jalapeno halves for about 20-30 minutes at this point as well.
  • Once cooled, slice in half so that each potato is a boat. With a spoon, gently scoop the innards out and put them in a mixer or large bowl. Reserve the scooped boats and put them in the dish or pan you will bake the second time around in.
  • Using a mixer, add the butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and milk and mix until smooth. Add in the green onion, bacon bits, sharp cheddar cheese and hot sauce and mix again, but more gently this time.
  • Partially fill the boats with the filling, add a slice pepper and then fill the rest of the way.
  • Top with shredded pepper jack cheese. Heat your grill or smoker to 300 degrees and bake for 15 minute. Rotate the potatoes and cook an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is all melted..
