We'll admit it, we can't stand the heat. So we're taking baked potatoes out of the kitchen for the summer, with fluffy insides and skins so crisp you'll never miss the oven.

What You Need

baking potatoes (2 lb.)

Tbsp. oil

1/2

cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

1/2

cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese

green onions, sliced

1/4

cup OSCAR MAYER Real Bacon Bits

Make It

HEAT greased grill to medium-high heat.

PIERCE potatoes with fork or small sharp knife; rub with oil.

MICROWAVE potatoes on microwaveable plate on HIGH 8 min. or until tender, turning after 4 min. Transfer from plate to grate of grill.

GRILL 12 to 15 min. or until potatoes are crisp and lightly browned, turning occasionally. Split potatoes. Serve topped with remaining ingredients.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Variation

Prepare using BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream, and KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Cheddar Cheese.

Note

Microwaved potatoes can also be wrapped individually in foil. Grill 12 to 15 min. or until potatoes are tender, turning occasionally. Potatoes will be less crispy than when grilled without the foil.

Special Extra

Sprinkle potatoes with 1 tsp. salt after rubbing with oil. Continue as directed.

The skin is so great on this. Remind me on how Cracker Barrel used to do their potatoes.

Very easy to make. I love the crunchy outside of the potato.

My family just loves these grilled potatoes. My husband asks for them everytime I barbeque.

Great technique! Grill a little longer than recipe suggests for a more crisp skin.

This was a great way to speed up the cooking time for grilling potatoes. I never thought to microwave them first. They came out perfect and were done when the meat was done. Great idea!

These were yummy. Usually tators take SO long to cook. I have done the grill and then the microwave and they get a little rubbery so this was way way better. My new way to make quick baked potatoes!
