| Idaho baking potatoes (as many as you have guests) | |
| butter, (a pat or two) | |
| olive oil | |
| springs of fresh thyme (one for each potato) | |
| smoked bacon, (one strip for every 2 potatoes | |
| sea salt | |
| cracked black pepper | |
Directions
Lay out 2 sheets of aluminum foil for each potato
Wash the spuds
cut the strip(s) of bacon in half
rinse the thyme
Carefully cut the potato lengthwise, but DO NOT cut all the way through, then, give your chef's knife a slight twist until you hear a faint 'crack', creating a hinge
Place the potato on the double foil
Cut thin slices of butter and pry the potato open just enough to slip a few slices of butter between the halves
Lay a sprig of thyme on the slit and, with the back of your knife, push the sprig between the halves, into the butter
Rub any 'oozing' butter all over the skin, lube it up!
Lay a half strip of bacon over the slit
Drizzle olive oil over the potato
Loosely fold the first sheet of foil over the potato and scrunch up the ends to cover
Loosely fold the second sheet of foil over the first and fold to seal
Place on the grill for 1 hour
