Bake & Smoked Bacon Wrapped Spuds

Had to give the latest craze a try for our annual Celtic Fest Saturday night. Baked some Idaho taters then removed the insides to mash with butter, colbyJack, and a little Half & Half. Filled the skins back up then wrapped in bacon and onto the smoker till the bacon was done. I precooked the bacon a little so the taters wouldn't dry out. Sorry I don't have pics of the finished product but they were such a hit, they disappeared from the platter before I could get the camera out! Topped them off with some John Henry wild cherry chipolte rub. That really added to the flavor.

Those look really good. What temp and how long and did you cook the potatoes before cutting them open?

I baked them at 400 for about 45 minutes.
