Smoked Potato Salad
- 2 pounds small red potatoes
- Mesquite wood chips, for smoking
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 7 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 stalks celery, sliced into half moons
- 2 scallions, whites sliced thinly and greens chopped roughly
- First, smoke the potatoes. Preheat your smoker using manufacturer's instructions and load it with mesquite wood.
- While the smoker is preheating, wash, dry, and pierce your potatoes all over with a fork. Melt the butter and pour it over the potatoes and shower them in salt and pepper.
- Once your smoker is up to temperature, load in the potatoes. Set the timer to an hour and a half and smoke the potatoes. Check them after this time and if they aren't done, let them go for 30-minute intervals until desired consistency.
- Let the potatoes cool entirely before preparing the salad (this is a good time to cook the bacon if you haven't already!). Once cooled, chop the potatoes into 1-inch cubes, and then toss them in the apple cider vinegar.
- Whisk together the yogurt, mustard, and olive oil until it's full emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix everything together in a bowl until all the ingredients are covered in the dressing. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge to chill further. Serve within a day for best results.
