Directions

1. Boil the potatoes until barely fork-tender. Smaller varieties of fingerlings will take less time, about 10 minutes total.
2. Cool the potatoes completely either in an ice bath or set in the fridge for a few hours minimum. You can do this up to five days in advance.
3. Prepare your Yoder Smokers YS640s pellet grill by removing the door to the 2-piece diffuser plate. If you are working with a single-piece diffuser, remove the entire diffuser. Set the temperature to 400°F so pellets are constantly feeding into the firebox.
4. Place your 12-inch Lodge cast iron skillet over the firebox and preheat your skillet.
5. Add a 1/4”-thick layer of avocado oil to the pan and heat to approximately 350-375°F.
6. Take your boiled and cooled potatoes, and smash each using the bottom of a flat & sturdy saucepan, bowl, or plate. Smash the potatoes to about a 1/2”-thickness.
7. Add your smashed potatoes in a single layer to the hot oil, and allow them to cook with the grill lid closed for 5-8 minutes on each side. Exposed innards of the potatoes should be a deep golden-brown color when properly fried.
8. Remove the potatoes and place them onto a paper towel-lined sheet tray. Finish your potatoes with your desired amount of Kosmos Q Salt & Vinegar Wing Dust – a little goes a long way, but a lot sure does taste great!
