Twice Baked Potato with a Twist
This is easily one of my favorite sides. It takes a little extra bit of work, but the results are always worth it.
One of the best things about this this side is that, once it is ready, it will sit and stay hot for 20-30 minutes so you can focus on the main course.
Tip
Bake the potatoes in advance and then prep them 30 minutes before you need them.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1-2 Large baking potatoes
Kosher salt
1 sweet or yellow onion
1/2 up fresh grated cheddar cheese
2-3 slices of bacon
Chives/green onions
1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic
2 tablespoons of sour cream
Butter
Sprinkle of crushed rosemary
Sprinkle of smoked paprika
Salt/Pepper to taste
Directions
Use fork or knife and put 2-3 holes in potatoes
Lightly coat potato in oil
Use kosher or Merlot salt on outside of potato
Wrap in foil
Cook on grill at 350-400 for an hour or so until fully tender
Smoke onion using method in video or just place on top rack to cook until soft
Cook bacon
Let potato cool for 20 minutes
Slice top of potato off to expose the inside
Scoop out potato into bowl (keep skin in tact)
Mix potato, bacon, diced cooked onion, cheese, butter, salt, pepper, rosemary, sour cream, and green onions. Use mixer for best results
Salt/Pepper to taste

This one is simple, but the results are always a crowd pleaser. Highly recommended next time you have someone over for dinner who you want to impress.
