Brie and Bacon Grilled Potatoes: 
What you’ll need:
  • 4 large potatoes, brushed clean
  • Kosher salt
  • Olive oil
  • Black pepper
  • 10 ounces creamy brie spread
  • Six ¼-inch thick slices peppered slab bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 4 scallions chopped finely
How to prepare:
  1. Poke holes all over the potatoes using a fork. Place them in a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and let boil until fork tender, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and dry with a paper towel. You can refrigerate them at this point and save for the next day, just remember to bring them back to room temperature before continuing. Or, head directly to the next step to continue.
  2. Once cool enough to handle or when the potatoes are room temperature from the refrigerator, drizzle olive oil all over the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes above the indirect heat of the grill, directly on the grill. If using a grill pan, use medium heat. Grill while rotating every 4-5 minutes until you've done a complete rotation on them all.
  3. Using a knife across the top and center of each potato, make half-deep slices in each potato. Push the ends in towards the center to "open" the potatoes, revealing the steaming flesh. Top each with a few generous scoops of brie spread, top with bacon and scallions.

  • ¼ cup finely ground espresso coffee (not instant)
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed

  • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • Pinch cayenne pepper

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
How to prepare:
  1. Heat grill to high
  2. Combine coffee, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, white pepper five-spice powder, and cayenne in a bowl
  3. Remove steak from refrigerator and let come to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Rub steak with oil, and sprinkle with rub. Massage rub into meat
