Just Potatoes ...

[MacEggs]

Well, mostly potatoes ... along with a few additives ...

Nothing too complicated.  This is very easy to do ... Let your imagination take over.

Extremely delicious!

[MrHoss]

Right on - that looks very good.  I have a few CI frying pans so I am gonna have to try that.

You're not getting away that easily. Oiled pan, butter chunks on top, bacon and/or bacon bits, plated with gravy? And was the grill the last step, after boiling the taters?

I did not boil the potatoes.  I tossed the slices in some EVOO, along with some desired seasoning ....

Some dollops of coconut oil on top.  All done indirect.  Rotating the pan once in awhile.

I did not want to over-cook the taters and have them all mushy ... more like el dente.

Then shredded cheddar, and homemade gravy made from the leftover drippings from this thread.

And, yes, that was the meal.

Wow, sounds even better now. I gotta try it.

and so I tried it

1) bag of red potatoes, skinned and cut them up
2) two CI skillets, one 10 1/4", one 8"
3) one 22.5" kettle, these are commonly available and come well recommended
4) bagged, tossed taters in EVOO and curry powder(!)
5) "positioned" taters in skillets, by far the hardest part of the operation
6) cut/chopped and fried up some summer sausage (beef)
7) dollops of coconut oil
8 ) sprinkled parsley and savory onto potatos

Setup has 2 firebricks in a gentle "V" arrangement creating a 1/3 heat zone. Skillets and oven thermo fit perfectly. Thermo says about 350 here, just after the oil melted down.



"action shot with G&T" Girl then says, "Daddy is that an old grill? Looks like you haven't cleaned it.  HEY DON'T YOU HAVE HOMEWORK TO DO WHILE I KEEP YOU ALIVE WITH FOOD??





I did soon add about 10 briquets because the grate temp seemed low initially (less than 200 degrees; damn those firebricks block heat!) Kettle solid at 300-325 degrees wide open for about 40-60 mins and then tasted a potato or two. Potatoes yummy; done; pulled off! No actual identifiable curry flavor but a good smoke from the Kingsford Hickory and other charcoal happening.

And tomorrow I get to take apart the One Touch / hanger bar / ashcan system.

Cranking it up tonight I noticed it's all hanging by a thread. The crossbar is a zavod aluminum replacement and the One Touch guts are only a year old, so I think I don't have something tightened correctly, or need to bend the cross bar for whatever reason. Vents still close fine however, even if the ashcan dangles weirdly.
