Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 12 small white potatoes
  • 1 tbsp. canola oil
  • 0.5 tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 cup finely chopped smoked pork butt
  • 1 tbsp. Kingsford® BBQ Sauce Mix and Dry Rub
  • 0.25 cup Kingsford® Original Smoked Hickory Barbecue Sauce plus sauce for drizzling
  • 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Additional Tools

Fuel: We recommend using Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets.

Method: Direct-Heat Grilling

Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
  • Place your potatoes in a vegetable grilling basket and place it on the grill. Cover the grill and allow the potatoes to roast for approximately 45 minutes until fork tender, turning them periodically with tongs.
  • Remove your potatoes from the grill and allow them to cool.
  • Slice your potatoes lengthwise. Use a ⅛ or ¼ tsp. measuring spoon to scoop the flesh from the centers of the potato halves, leaving ¼” of potato around the edges and bottom.
  • Combine your smoked pork, dry rub, sauce and cheese in a medium mixing bowl and blend well. Stuff the centers of your potatoes with the smoked pork mixture.
  • Return your potatoes to the grill, placing them cut side up on your cooking grate. Cover the grill and allow the stuffed potatoes to cook for 5 minutes until heated through. Drizzle with additional barbecue sauce and serve immediately.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from YUM This is an excellent recipe. Two of my very favorite things, potatoes and pulled pork. The recipe says for 24 people, but 6-8 people can finish these off with no problem.
