Grilled Potato Skins

2 large baking potatoes
2 tbsp butter, melted
2 tsp minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 green onions, chopped
Sour Cream

Cut each potato lengthwise into four wedges. Cut away the white portion, leaving 1/4 inch on potato skins. Place skins on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Combine the butter, rosemary, salt and pepper. Brush on both sides of potato skins.

Grill potatoes, skin side up, uncovered over direct medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn potatoes and position them over indirect heat; grill 2-3 minutes longer. Top with cheese. Cover and grill 2-3 minutes longer until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with bacon and onions. Serve with sour cream.
