Grilled Vegetables
Grilled Loaded Potato Skins
Stuffed potato skins, or loaded potato skins, make a wonderful appetizer if you are cooking for friends or family. These stuffed potato skins are started off in the microwave and finished on the grill to make them tender yet crispy and full of flavor.
The cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and onion taste wonderful together but, if you are entertaining non-vegetarians, you can use 3 cooked, crumbled bacon strips instead of the sun-dried tomatoes in this recipe. As an alternative dip to sour cream, you could try garlic mayonnaise, Marie rose sauce or even barbecue sauce. These stuffed potato skins are always a hit with guests and they are simple to make.

Ingredients -
2 large baking potatoes

Preheat the grill to medium hot.
Cut each potato lengthwise into four wedges. Cut away the white part, leaving only ¼ inch on the potato skins. Microwave the skins on high for 10 minutes or until tender.
Mix together the butter, salt, pepper and rosemary and brush this on both sides of the potato skins.
Grill the potatoes, skin side up and uncovered, for 2 or 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn the potatoes and position them over an indirect heat.
