Instructions for Making Pulled Pork Loaded Potatoes.
1. Wash potatoes, pat dry, poke potatoes with a fork, four or five times. This allows steam to vent so potatoes don't explode while cooking.
Apply an olive oil to skin of potatoes and sprinkle on kosher salt. Wrap in foil, place in your oven or pellet grill at 400° for 45 minutes until done. (Potatoes are done when you can poke with toothpick with no resistance)
2. Remove from oven or grill, unwrap potatoes and then cut the potatoes lengthwise in half.
3. Scoop out a bit of the inside with spoon making a nice boat for your toppings.
4. Add a pat of butter, scoop of sour cream, a scoop of your pulled pork, and real bacon bits.
5. I placed my potatoes in a disposable aluminum pan.
6. Once in the pan I sprinkled with Killer Hogs AP seasoning. Check out Killer Hogs they have a great line of rub, and I put the AP on everything, it's an excellent blend of salt, pepper and garlic.
