Tailgating Pulled Pork Potato Skins

Author: Robyn

Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes cleaned
  • 4 slices Bacon
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • ¾ cup Sharp Cheddar
  • ½ cup Bulls-Eye barbecue sauce
  • ½ pound pulled pork
  • Sour cream

Instructions

Night before the game:

  • Cook or acquire pulled pork.  **You can support your local youth recreation football league and buy a pre-cooked Boston Butt from their fundraiser. That’s what I did last year.

Morning of the game:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 2. Pierce potatoes with a fork.  Bake potatoes on middle rack until fork tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and let sit until cool.  Wrap in foil until tailgate time.
  • 3. Cook the bacon.  Once cool, crumble and store pieces in Ziploc bag.
  • 4. Prep all other ingredients for transport.

Tailgate Time:

  • 1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  • 2. Cut potatoes in half, lengthwise, and spoon out the flesh.    Place potato flesh in side bowl.
  • 3. Brush potatoes shells with melted butter/garlic mix on both sides.
  • 4. Place potatoes on grill and cook about four minutes on each side and remove.
  • 5. In side bowl mix cheese, sour cream, and bacon with potato flesh.  Spoon 2 table spoons of mixture onto freshly grilled potato shells/skins and mask down in the center to make room for the pulled pork.
  • 6. Place a table spoon of pulled pork in the middle of the potato skin.
  • 7. Drizzle with a little BBQ sauce and enjoy!
