The sign of a true grill master is the ability to whip up just about anything using the grill, such as everyone’s favorite side dish! Grilled Potato Skins are exactly what you would think and more; buttery, fluffy, crispy potatoes coated in butter, grilled, and topped with sharp cheese and crumbled bacon.
