Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Poke each potato several times with a fork. Place potatoes directly on oven rack and bake for 60 minutes, or until tender and a fork can easily slide into potatoes.
While potatoes are baking, cook bacon until crispy. Crumble cooked bacon into a bowl and set aside.
Once potatoes are fully cooked, remove from oven and set aside to cool for ~20 minutes, or until they can be handled.
Preheat grill to 350°F.
Slice the top ⅓ off of each potato. Scoop out the inside of each potato, placing the cooked portion into a large bowl. (Tip: Leave ~¼” of potato attached to the skin.)
Add sour cream, half-and-half, 4 Tbsp of butter, salt and pepper to the bowl with the cooked potatoes. Using a hand mixer, mix until well combined and fluffy.
Add chives, half of the crumbled bacon bits and 1¾ cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until well combined.
Rub the outer skins of the potatoes with the remaining 2 Tbsp of butter.
Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato shells. Sprinkle remaining bacon and shredded cheese on top.
Place potatoes on grill and close lid. Grill for 8-10 minutes, or until cheese has completely melted.
{Optional} Before serving, top with additional sour cream and chopped chives.
