Easy Stuffed Baked Potatoes on the Grill

I was bored with plain baked potatoes and had some leftover dip to use up, so I came up with this recipe.

Prepare two large baking potatoes in the microwave. They are usually soft in 7 to 10 minutes. Let them cool, then slice long ways trying to leave about 2/3 of the potato on one side. Scoop out all of the potato flesh into a small bowl.

To the potato flesh, add about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and a couple tablespoons of French onion dip (or just plain sour cream). Add a little salt and pepper and mix well. You can also add other herbs to your taste such as dill or chives.

Scoop the filling into the larger potato skins. Place on a foil tin, such as a pie tin. Also lay the unused potato skins with them, brushed with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Cover with foil and set on your grill with your steak, chicken, burgers, whatever. Yummy!

Makes an elegant and easy side dish. The leftover skins are like a fresh made chip, too.
