Mushroom-Stuffed Grilled Potatoes
We love how easy it is to make these fancy potatoes on the grill.
These grilled potatoes may be good enough for a gourmet dinner, but they are still a snap to make. All you need to do is make a little room on the grill, mix up a delicious mushroom-and-cheese filling, and get cooking. Who says backyard grilling can’t get a little fancy? You and your guests (or your family!) will love the smoky flavor of these easy grilled potatoes. They are the perfect side dish for a variety of mains, or you can make a light dinner of them all on their own.
From the Chef: "What a fun way to make potatoes! Grilling gives a smoky backyard flavor to the skin, and removing the insides to combine with more flavor packs a real punch when placed back in the potato boats and served piping hot!"

Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces white mushrooms, trimmed and sliced
- 1 bunch chives, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
-
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F).
-
Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise. Brush all over with oil and place on the grill skin side down. Close the lid and cook for 30 minutes.
-
Remove the potatoes from the grill, leaving the grill on, and let the potatoes cool slightly. Scoop out the insides, leaving the skins intact with a 1/4-inch-thickness of potato flesh.
-
Place the scooped-out potato flesh in a large bowl and mash with a fork. Add the scallions, mushrooms, chives, cheddar, sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste, and stir to combine.
-
Divide the stuffing equally among the potato shells. Place the stuffed ptoatoes on the grill, close the lid, and cook until the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. Serve.
