Cheesy Sour Cream and Chives Twice Baked Potato Skins - 52 Grilling Time Secret Extras


This is hands down my very favorite side dish for a night on the grill.

All of the work is done in advance.  The 'taters are cooked and mashed hours ahead of time.  While of course you can do this in an oven, broiler setting; pulling these off a grill (along with a steak and corn on the cob becomes something magical!
