Smoked Pulled Pork Loaded Potatoes

One of my favorite side dishes I like to serve is Potatoes. Whether they are mashed, fried or even baked, they are the perfect side to serve with whatever you are smoking and grilling.

Today I decided to take the basic Baked Potato to the next level. I smoked them first, and then added some Bacon, Cheese and other ingredients to really kick up the flavor. Of course I had to also top them with some Smoked Pulled Pork as well. These came out Fantastic!

So if your looking for the perfect side dish for your next Barbecue, look no further. These Smoked Pulled Pork Loaded Potatoes will really impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

4-5 Large Russet Potatoes

1lb Bacon – thinly sliced

8oz Sour Cream

4 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 stick Butter

1 bunch Green Onions thinly sliced

2lbs Pulled Pork

BBQ Sauce of your choice

Salt and Pepper

First fry the bacon until crispy and chop into smaller pieces. Reserve bacon grease, and set the bacon aside. Next preheat your smoker to 350 degrees.

Wash the potatoes and pat dry with paper towel. Drizzle potatoes with bacon grease and season with Salt and Pepper. Once your smoker reaches temperature place the potatoes on grill and cook until tender. When done remove and allow to cool a bit so they are easier to handle.

Slice the tops off each potato and scoop out the insides into a large bowl. Add butter, sour cream, half the cheese, bacon, and green onion (reserve a little bacon and green onion for garnish).

Stir to combine and spoon the mixture back into each hollowed out potato. Top with a heaping pile of pulled pork and drizzle BBQ Sauce. Add the remaining cheese to the top of each potato and return to the smoker for 10 minutes or so until the cheese melts. Top with remaining green onion and crumbled bacon and serve. Enjoy!
