Baked Potatoes

[nascarchuck]

OK... I saw this on another forum and tried them last night. They were really good.

Normally I am the kind that has to drown my baked potato in butter, sour cream, green onions, etc, but these didn't need anything on them!


Wash a large baking potato, cut a slit (I found it easier to cut a narrow "V" in it) lengthwise, place a couple of slices of onion in the slit and place a piece of bacon over slit. Then wrap in foil and put on the grill or smoker until done.

A deep cut or just enough to put onion in?

I was trying to cut about 3/4 of the depth of the tater. I would say just enough to get some onion in there.

Hey Chuck..sounds purty kinky to me. Believe I would have him send a working model or something like that. I do not like to put stamps of approval on weird stuff which has not been duplicated using the scientific method..which as you know hinges on repeatability. Thats whut takes the
religion of Evolutionism out of the realm of science.

Chuck - maybe I missed something. You say, put a piece of back over it. What did I lose in the translation?

Sorry! That should read a piece of bacon. I corrected the OP. Thanks for pointing that out!

Sounds good add some garlic slices inside with the onion.

or try this
Bake potato by rubbing with olive oil all over- season with garlic granular- salt ñ pepper place in foil ñ bake. Or use salad dressing.

Add after baking – slit open green chilies into the slit with little butter ñ bake.

Salad Dressing meaning Like olive oil mixed with herbs or Italian dressing with Zest -

I have also.. after baking made them - slit baked potatoes opened n placed lots of canned diced green chilies in side with little butter-
Now that is darn good eating.
