Level of difficulty:

- Pre-cook the potatoes in water for 20-30 minutes, depending on their size.
- Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese, crème fraîche, and grated cheddar into a smooth mixture. Finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cut off the top and bottom caps of the potatoes so they can stand upright. Then, hollow out the potatoes with a small spoon, leaving about 2 cm from the bottom.
- Brush the potatoes all around with some melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
- Fill the potatoes with the prepared mixture.
- Wrap each potato with two slices of barbecue bacon and secure with a toothpick.
On the Grill:
- Preheat the grill to about 200-220°C.
- Place the stuffed potatoes on the grill rack and cook over indirect heat for about 30 minutes.
- Brush the grilled bacon with BBQ sauce every 10 minutes.
- The potatoes are ready when the bacon is crispy and has a nice golden-brown colour.
Tip: Serve with a sour cream dip, chopped chives, and some garlic.
