Smoked baked potatoes on the Traeger (or your favorite pellet grill) are super easy and delicious. Pair them with your favorite toppings to make these creamy smoked twice baked potatoes for the ultimate side dish!
Wash and dry potatoes. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and rub them with oil.
Bake the potatoes for 1 hour, making sure they're cooked through.
Allow the potatoes to cool slighly and then use a sharp knife, and slice each potato in half lengthwise.
Scoop out the insides of the potatoes into a large bowl. Try to be careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small amount of the potato intact for extra support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet.
Add the potatoes, half of the shredded cheese, sour cream, salt, green onions to a large mixing bowl and incorporate well.
Fill the potato shells with the filling. It is totally fine if they are heaping! Top each potato with the remaining shredded cheese and bake them in the Traeger until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve & enjoy!
Notes
Any potato will work for this recipe. I have a special love for Yukon Gold potatoes, so they get my vote. They make the creamiest mashed potatoes! But use what you have or prefer!
