Ingredients

  • 1 pound medium sized yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 4 slices thick cut bacon
  • 1 tablespoon Salt and Pepper + Sour Cream and Onion our spice blend with Spiceology
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped

Instructions

  • Heat your grill for medium-high heat cooking, about 400 degrees F. Cook the bacon on a sheet pan lined with foil until crisped, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool so you can chop them.
  • Toss the potatoes with the olive oil and season generously with kosher salt. Cook the potatoes in a cast iron skillet on the grill until fork tender and browned, about 20 minutes. Turn the potatoes once, about half way through the cook.
  • When the potatoes are done, remove them from the heat to cool slightly. Chop the bacon, then use a mallet or heavy bottomed glass to smash the potatoes. Return the potatoes to the skillet and season with the Salt and Pepper + Sour Cream and Onion seasoning. Top with the cheddar cheese and bacon and return to the oven until the potatoes are crisp and the cheddar cheese is melted.
  • Top the potatoes with more sour cream and the chopped onion and let them cool for a second before you dig in.
