    twice baked grilled potatoes

    Here’s a new concept for you.

    Twice baked ‘taters.

    Except you bake. Then grill.

    (Instead of bake twice.)

    And when I baked mine, I did so in the slow cooker…out on the porch (a trick I learned from Lynn when I was pregnant with Tyler…I couldn’t stand the smell of cooking food, so I’d put the slow cooker out on the porch to cook and I didn’t have to smell it and get queasy. This trick works great in the summer when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen.)

    I’ve been thinking about twice baked potatoes for some time, but couldn’t figure out how to do them in the summer time without turning my kitchen into a oven.

    The answer was simple. Bake in the slow cooker. Bake on the grill.

    Love. love. love. the smokey flavor they take on from being grilled! And love that I got to use my wild chives from the garden too!

      This is a great idea. I love twice baked potatoes and this is a perfect way to have them during the summer. I am glad that the crockpot trick has been helpful for you. I love putting it on my deck during the summer.

      These look amazing! And I love using my slow cooker AND my grill, especially in the summer! Thanks for this post. ^_^ I have a question though… I’m reading this at another computer and wanted to email it to myself to save the recipe. I can’t see a way to email this article. Am I missing something? 🙂

            That’s what Pinterest is for! Pin it! Or copy the web address link and email that to yourself.
