2 to 3 large baked potatoes, cooked, cooled and cut into ¾” inch slices
¼ cup olive oil
1 tbsp Everyday Rub (recipe to follow)
6 slices of diced bacon
1 diced onion
1 cup Boursin Cheese (garlic)
½ cup sour cream (optional)
Grilled tomato slices (optional)
Cedar planked soak in water for minimum of 30 minutes
Instructions
Potato Prep
In a large bowl, place the baked potato rings, add a splash of oil and a good pinch of the Everyday Rub. Toss gently and grill on a preheated barbecue on medium to high heat, turning two or three times.
In a skillet fry the diced bacon, remove fat and fry the diced onion together with bacon. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Placed the grilled potatoes onto a seasoned cedar plank. Sprinkle with a little cheddar cheese. Top each with a bit of onion and bacon mixture followed by a little more cheese.
Place back on the upper barbecue rack over medium heat for an additional 4 to 6 minutes.
When ready to serve, top each ring with a dollop of sour cream and/or grilled tomato.
Everyday Rub
¼ cup sweet paprika
2 tbsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground black pepper
½ cup sea salt
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tsp dry sage
1 tsp dry thyme
2 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp mustard powder
1 tbsp of cumin
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
Place all ingredients into a small jar. Shake well.
* I improvised with spices I had at the lake, paprika, salt, pepper, herbes de provence, brown sugar, mustard powder and they were just as delicious.
This is an excellent for seasoning meat, fish, poultry and vegetables. The rub will keep well for 3 to 4 months in an airtight container.
