SERVES

INGREDIENTS
MAIN
3 Pound medium russet potatoes, scrubbed
1/4 Cup Olive oil
To Taste kosher salt
To Taste freshly ground black pepper
1 Pound slab bacon, cut into lardons (matchsticks)
1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 scallions, thinly sliced

DRESSING
2 Cup sour cream
1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
2 Tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/2 Tablespoon dry mustard

STEPS
1   When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 450℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. Place potatoes directly on the grill grate and cook 35 to 40 minutes or until tender.

2   Coat the potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

3    Place bacon lardons in a cast iron skillet or oven-safe dish.

4   Place the potatoes directly on the grill grates. Place the dish with the lardons next to the potatoes. Close the lid and cook until fat is rendered and lardons are crispy, about 30 minutes.

5   Remove lardons from the grill, drain and discard the fat and set bacon aside.

6   When the potatoes are tender, remove from grill and let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator and cool completely.

7   While the potatoes are cooling make the dressing. In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, chives, dry mustard, salt and pepper and mix well.

8   When potatoes are completely cool, cut them into 1 inch chunks. In a large bowl, toss potatoes, lardon and cheese together. Pour dressing over the top and stir to coat. Top with extra cheese if desired and sliced scallions.

GMG Extravagant Burger
By Trina Dunkin March 6, 2023
The argument for burgers and whether to use lean and fat ground beef will never get settled. Personally, I prefer the leanest I can afford. I also like to make two thin patties for a “double” rather than one thick one, but that’s just me. Everyone has a special way to make their burgers and we won’t stop you from doing your own thing. We just want to give your our take on burgers and we wanna see what you guys some up with. Their are so many possibilities for some beef a bun and some fixing and that’s what a hamburger is all about. PREP TIME 15-30 MINS IDLE TIME N/A HOURS COOK TIME .5 HOURS PELLETS Gold BLEND SERVES 2-6 PEOPLE INGREDIENTS: GMG Beef Rub Ground Beef Pepper salt Your Choice of Fixing HOPPED-UP BURGERS Here’s the good stuff: Mince an onion and a half slice of bacon. If you want, add some diced Ortega chilies. Knead these into your burger. You should cook this until medium-well to insure the bacon cooks thoroughly. If you make thick burgers, sauté the onion/bacon mix for a couple of minutes on your stove top before you mix it in with your ground beef. You can top the burgers with cheese during the last 2 minutes or so, and you can also toast your buns for about the same length of time. check out ANOTHER awesome IDEA FOR AN UNUSUAL GREAT TASTING BURGER IN VIDEO BELOW!!!!!
