How to Make Bbq Potatoes On A Wet Plank

1. Soak your cedar, maple, alder, or oak plank in water for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
2. Pierce 4 medium-sized russet potatoes several times with a fork to allow steam to escape. Microwave on high for 16 minutes.
3. Once cool enough to handle, carefully cut the potatoes in half lengthwise.
4. Gently scoop out the cooked potato flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch of potato intact to form a shell.
5. In a large bowl, combine the scooped potato with: 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits, salt and pepper to taste.
6. Fill each potato shell generously with the mixture.
7. Place the filled potato halves on the soaked plank.
8. Preheat your BBQ to medium heat (approximately 350°F).
9. Place the plank directly on the preheated grill grates and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and slightly charred.
10. Alternatively, bake in a preheated 375°F oven on the wet plank for 15-20 minutes.
11. Serve immediately and enjoy! Pairs perfectly with plank-cooked salmon!
