Unfortunately my wife couldn't find the twice-baked potatoes at the Winn-Dixie by our house, so she bought 2 boxes of scalloped potatoes and we cooked them and then put them on the top rack to soak up some of the filet's flavor. Unfortunately it didn't absorb as much of the flavor as I wanted so I hope next time we can find those twice-baked potatoes.
It's really difficult to cook those things without having the marinade burn a little bit as you can see in the pic, but we usually don't taste anything burnt thankfully. At first I thought my grill was too hot but I can cook other things without any burning at all so that's how I figured it was the marinade that the meat place uses that just burns easily.
Plus, we just had another cool front come through so I might be grilling again soon (I can't wait).

Wow, my favorite. That looks awesome! Thanks for the pic. Now I'm hungry. I would have thought that was a great idea with the potatoes.

Details, details. What temperature do you try to cook them at? And, the million dollar question, can you tell the difference rare, medium-rare, medium, etc.? I have to use a thermometer, but the best cooks always seem to know by firmness.
