Very good. Made on the smoker. Took about 3 hours.

Well in my opinion, adding bacon to almost anything makes it taste even better!!! This was great way to make a potato!!! I was making it to serve along with a marinated flank steak, but wasn't sure how much propane was left, so I started it out in the oven and then when it was time to grill the steaks, I added it also to the grill. I didn't add any cilantro and used a little butter along with the olive oil. Thanks for sharing Kate. Made for stars tag!!

These potatoes are beyond awesome. There is nothing that bacon doesn't make better. The olive oil and cilantro was lovely on them although I did use a little less of both. These potatoes accompanied Sweet and Sour Kielbasa Kabobs. We will be finding these on our table many more times over the summer. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
