Pack some smoke flavor into this simple side and bring it to your next backyard BBQ. Russet potatoes are smoked then roasted on the Traeger before getting tossed with a creamy mayo dressing.
Ingredients:
- 2 Pound Russet Potatoes
- 2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 Cup Mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon Dry Mustard
- 1 Tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
- 2 Stalk Celery, Diced
- 2 Hard Boiled Eggs, Chopped
- 1/2 Red Onion, Diced Small
- 1 Tablespoon Chopped Chives
- Salt
- Black Pepper
Directions:
Scrub the potatoes under cold water with a vegetable brush. Pat dry and coat potatoes with olive oil. When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 180℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available. Spread potatoes out on a sheet pan and place in the grill. Smoke potatoes for 15-20 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the grill. Increase the grill temperature to 450℉ and preheat with the lid closed. Place the tray of potatoes back on the grill and cook for an additional 20-25 minutes or until tender. When the potatoes are tender, remove from grill and set aside until cool enough to handle. Using your hands and a towel, remove the potato skins and cut into large chunks. Combine potatoes and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if needed. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and transfer your smoked potato salad to the fridge until cooled. Enjoy!
