Whoa~~ We may have just improved life’s most perfect food..the Potato! I know, it doesn’t seem possible, but this Potato has BACON! And not just any Bacon, but sweet, BBQ glazed Bacon!
Crack through that golden Bacon ‘shell’ and sink into a hot, fluffy tender Potato! ~You’ll never settle for an un-baconed Potato again..lol! 🙂
You can make these as dark as you’d like. I tried them both ways and it was ALL good!
What you’ll need:
Baking Potatoes..medium to large
3-4 slices of Bacon per each Potato
approx. 2-3 tablespoons of BBQ Sauce per Potato, I used Sweet Baby Rays, but you can use your fave!
Directions:
Wrap each Potato with the Bacon strips…kind of overlapping them until the entire Potato is covered…
Brush them with some of the BBQ Sauce and bake them on a sheet pan (covered in foil) at 400 degrees for approx. 45-1 hour. OR until they’re golden, soft in the middle and done to your liking.
Baste the Potatoes with BBQ sauce periodically throughout the baking process to keep them nice and sauced up! You can turn them over halfway through cooking if you want both sides equally crisp. Or..use a rack on top of the sheet pan so the grease drains away. 🙂
Let them cool just a bit, eat them…be AMAZED! ~Enjoy! 🙂
Made these tonight and they were so good!!
Yay! 🙂
Should these be a meal by themselves? I love bacon and I love potatos but I guess I should not eat with a steak! That would be a heart attack waiting to happen. I think I will have as a meal. They look so yummy!
Just when you thought there couldn’t be another way to eat potatoes, this heavenly recipe comes along! 🙂
discovered this great idea a few yrs ago commonly called a Potato Bomb.the added twist is -to run an apple corer ended to end, then cut 2 half inch long plugs out of the core -place one in the end, then fill with cheese, onion, or any other toppings then replace the plug on the other end. then Bake
I MUST do this!!!! Thank you! 🙂
When I bake potatoes, I stab the exteriors of the potatoes all over with a fork to let the steam out. I am thinking this would be a good idea to let some bacon goodness in too.
Great idea! 🙂
damn that some delishious looking baked potatoes. Simple but filling.. just what everyone needs on a cold day..
I suspect they are also good if you’re on a budget..!
Just to clarify…are the potatoes supposed to be covered in foil or just the pan that the potatoes sit on top of?
OMG. gonna try this on my grill. Maybe even this weekend!
Hey Jo, When are they going to be done?
