This was a new one for me and it looked intereting so I wanted to try it. In it's simplest form, just a couple of taters and some butter. I threw in some simple spices like garlic, parsley, and some onion powder. Plus, you can do these on the smoker, the grill or the oven. The thickenss of the slices are all a matter of personal preference as well. Some folks skin the tater, others leave the skin on as I did.
The deal here is to slice the potato but not all the way through so you have a back bone left at the bottom. The trick to doing this is a sharp knife and a couple of wooden spoons:
The prep:
You can continue to baste as much as you like. Some Hebrew Nationals thrown in for good measure:
Finished:
and the most important part, eating them. My kids loved them with ketchup of course. I drizzeled on some vinegar and a little fine ground kosher salt.
You can see the backbone on the bottom. They easily peal off. I loved the texture as well. Crsispy on the outside and tender inside but not so much that it falls apart. So, if you smoke them, I would suggest a short stop under the broiler to crisp them up a bit.
Anyway, that's what I did. Thanks for looking. I'm thinking this could be fun to see what people come up with. Time will tell I guess.
