After removing the smoked baked potatoes from the grill or smoker, increase the temperature from 225°F to 375°F, still with INDIRECT heat.
Cut the smoked baked potatoes in half lengthwise with the flatter side of the potatoes to become the bottom of the halves. (You want wide, not narrow, bottoms that will be stable on the smoker.)
4 Smoked Russet Potatoes
Scoop out the insides of each halved potato into a medium bowl.
Mash the potato insides with the remaining ingredients, holding back a little cheddar cheese.
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese, ½ cup Sour Cream, ½ cup Buttermilk or Whole Milk, 2 tablespoon Butter, 3 Scallions, 4 strips Bacon, ½ teaspoon Salt, Black Pepper
Fill the scooped out potatoes with the new potato mixture, then top with the remaining cheese.
Place on a baking sheet and place back in the grill or smoker at the 375°F for about 20 minutes.
Garnish with extra chives and bacon if desired.
