Pimento Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes

These Pimento Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes are loaded with layers of cheesy goodness and the perfect side dish to any meal on the grill.

Adding pimento cheese to the filling of twice baked potatoes makes them extra creamy and flavorful. They are super simple to make on a pellet grill and we like top them with crispy bacon for the ultimate side dish for Grilled T-Bone Steaks, Brown Sugar Pork Chops or BBQ Whole Chicken.

Ingredients Needed

• Russet Potatoes – We use medium sized potatoes because they will cook faster and also we enjoy the portion size of a medium baked potato more than the giant baking potatoes.
• Pimento Cheese – We are using our homemade version that is made with cheddar cheese and pepper jack cheese. Store bought works too.
• Butter – Salted butter is what we always have on hand, unsalted will also work without having to adjust the seasonings.
• Sour Cream – Adds tangy flavor and creamy texture to the potatoes.
• Heavy Whipping Cream – Adds extra creaminess, substitute milk if you don’t have cream.
• SPG Rub – Our Salt, Pepper, Garlic Rub is the perfect seasoning. Any all-purpose seasoning salt can be substituted.
• Bacon – Crispy cooked bacon adds the best flavor to these twice baked potatoes in the filling and for the topping.
• Green Onions – Garnish the tops of these cheesy potatoes with fresh green onions for additional flavor.

Step-By-Step Directions for Pimento Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes on the Grill

1. Scrub the potatoes and dry well. Prick with a fork and place directly onto the pellet grill or bake in a hot oven. Cook potatoes about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches about 195° using a digital thermometer.
2. Remove potatoes from the grill and slice each potato in half, lengthwise.
3. Scoop the center of the potatoes out, leaving about 1/8 inch of a shell with the potato skin.
4. Place the potato flesh into a large mixing bowl with pimento cheese, butter, sour cream, heavy whipping cream and seasonings. Beat at medium speed until filling is smooth. Fold in 1/2 of the crumbled bacon.
5. Spoon the filling into the potato skins and place onto a rimmed baking sheet. Top with remaining bacon crumbles. If you have leftover filling, you can put it in an oven safe bowl and cook it right with the potatoes.

6. Return to the grill or oven, cooking another 30 minutes or until filling is bubbly.

7. Remove from grill and garnish with green onions.
