Grilled Bacon Potatoes

Recipe View 5 mins Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, setting up for indirect grilling. (Approximately 5 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Prepare the Potatoes: On a cutting board, carefully slice each potato crosswise into approximately 5 thick segments, taking care not to cut all the way through the base. This creates a fan-like shape. Place each potato on a square of heavy-duty aluminum foil. (Approximately 10 minutes)

Recipe View 15 mins Season and Wrap: Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt into the crevices of each sliced potato. Wrap each potato with 3 slices of bacon, weaving them through the slices and securing with toothpicks if needed to hold the bacon in place. (Approximately 15 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Glaze and Foil: Brush each bacon-wrapped potato generously with approximately 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring all surfaces are coated. Then, sprinkle each potato with 1/4 cup of packed light brown sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper, pressing gently to adhere. Loosely wrap each potato in its aluminum foil square, leaving room for steam to circulate. (Approximately 10 minutes)

Recipe View 45 mins Grill to Perfection: Place the foil-wrapped potatoes on the preheated grill, positioned over indirect heat. Close the grill lid and cook for 30-45 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp, the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, and the brown sugar has caramelized beautifully. (Approximately 45 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Rest and Serve: Carefully remove the potatoes from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before unwrapping. This allows the flavors to meld and the potatoes to cool slightly. Remove toothpicks before serving. (Approximately 5 minutes)
