Potato Bombs
Potato Bombs
Taters Gone Wild, these BBQ Pit Boys stuffed Baked Potato Bombs are kick-ass good eatin' at any Pit, family picnic or tailgating party. So crank up the music, put your BBQ Shoes on, pop open a beer, and grab some spuds because Taters don't get any better than this.
For this Potato Bombs recipe you're going to need the following ingredients:
Russet potatoes
Sour Cream, use your favorite.
We used a combination the following cold cuts of meats:
Ham
Sliced Turkey
Bruscuto Corned Beef
Italian sausages,
Breakfast sausage
Smoked German sausage
Hot Dogs
Cooked Bacon
Butter
Habanero cheese
Cheddar cheese
Cheddar Cheese
Garlic
Scallion
Method
Use an apple corer to take the centre out of the potato and keep the core . You're going to use it to plug each end to hold in the stuffing.
3/4 fill the cavity with your selection of meats and cheeses and use the core to plug each end of the potato to seal it up.
Take a slice of uncooked bacon and wrap the potato around the outside, the bacon will tighten up ads it cooks
wrap the stuffed Potato with aluminum foil.
Note, many people ask about which side of the aluminum foil is the right side to use,, use any side you like, it's an urban myth that there is a right or wrong side
Cook on a preheated gill at 375 -400 f ( 190-200 C), for about 1 hour, maybe 1 hour 15 min until they are done
At about halfway through the cook, flip and rotate the potatoes to ensure even cooking.
Serving
Finley chop up some scallion (spring onion) and mix with the sour cream and add to the cooked potato bomb.

Current cookers Weber Spirit 3 burner. A 22" Kettle with vortex SnS and OnlyFire pizza oven. A Smokey Joe and the most recent addition a Pit Barrel Jr with bird hanger, 4 hooks and cover. ThermoWorks Smoke 2 probe, DOT, ThermoPop and a Thermapen Mk4. Recently added 2 TempSpike wireless meat thermometers.
I liked their videos as they used a Weber Kettle for the most part, which is what I had when just starting out. Also, they are very beginner friendly, without making you feel like a beginner: "But you know how to do that right?" and then proceed to show you in detail.
As I have a background in video production, one thing that I found so fascinating about them is that their primary set -- which I believe is the lead guy's backyard -- looks like it out in the woods; however, in some of their videos, they'll do an overhead shot and it appears to be a moderately-sized residential lot. You can see the privacy fence and where the grill is in relation to the house (it's right up against it, but you rarely see the house in a shot). Amazing what a camera can hide or reveal.

The first link by the OP doesn't go to a video; just a wrtten recipe. And even though there apears to be a video on that page, there isn't actually a link associated with the WATCH NOW picture. Is there a video for the potato bomb?

I actually made a potato bomb yesterday. It turned out pretty well but there is a bit of a learning curve in terms of how much you can stuff in there. I did mine with minced garlic, butter, cheese, and topped with sour cream for service. The best thing was I used a strip of Wright bacon to wrap it, and man, that is some nice bacon.
