Grilled Potato Volcanoes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: large russet potatoes, grated cheddar cheese, cream cheese, green onion, bacon, sour cream, green onion

Provided by Claire Nolan

Categories     Snacks

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 large russet potatoes
3 cups grated cheddar cheese, divided
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup green onion, sliced
12 strips bacon
sour cream
green onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to 400˚F (200˚C).
  • Thoroughly scrub the potatoes and poke a few holes in them to vent. Wrap in aluminum foil and place on the grill over direct heat to cook for 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime, mix 1 ½ cups (150g) of cheddar cheese, the cream cheese, and green onions in a medium bowl until well-combined. Set aside.
  • Remove the potatoes from the grill and let them rest until they are cool enough to handle. Unwrap each potato and cut off the ends so they can stand up. Using a melon baller or a spoon, carve out the center of each potato, being careful not to make the walls too thin, and to leave a bit of thickness at the bottom as well. Fill the potatoes with the cheese mixture and wrap 2 slices of bacon around each one. Secure the bacon with toothpicks, if necessary.
  • Reduce the grill temperature to about 350˚F (175˚C) and place the potatoes on the grill over indirect heat for 30 minutes with the lid closed.
  • After 30 minutes, top the potatoes with the remaining cheddar cheese and cook for another 15 minutes. Before serving, garnish with a dollop of sour cream and some green onions.
  • Enjoy!

This is from an old edition of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. Preparation and cooking times are guesses (my mom made these, not me!), and do not include time to cook the potatoes. These would be great for a retro-themed gathering.

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 russet potatoes
6 strips bacon
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 eggs
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Steps:

I make it by mounding mashed potatoes into the shape of a mountain, putting a crater in the middle, and filling it with cheese sauce and drizzling some down the sides like lave. Then I broil it until it's bubbling and brown.-Beatta Robben, Grinnell, Kansas

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use small, round potatoes such as baby potatoes or new potatoes. These potatoes will cook evenly and have a crispy skin.
  • Parboil the potatoes: Parboiling the potatoes before roasting them helps to ensure that they are cooked through evenly. It also helps to create a crispy skin.
  • Use a flavorful oil: When roasting the potatoes, use a flavorful oil such as olive oil or avocado oil. This will help to add flavor to the potatoes.
  • Season the potatoes well: Before roasting the potatoes, season them generously with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
  • Roast the potatoes in a hot oven: Roasting the potatoes in a hot oven will help to create a crispy skin. Aim for an oven temperature of at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the potatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the potatoes hot: Volcano potatoes are best served hot out of the oven. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
