BBQ potato salad.

Monday, August 16th, 2010

My good good friend Chris came down from LA this week to visit. The first night we stayed up a little too late talking about food and cooking, you know man stuff. A lot of that talking was about grilling so a couple days later we’re lighting up the coals for a little backyard BBQ. First we had to hit Trader Joe’s for some special ingredients for his “BBQ potato salad” he was telling me about that first night. For some reason I couldn’t really imagine/get what he was saying about the sauce he was trying to explain so when he actually finished it I was like oh, I’ve made something like this before. These potatoes were so freaking tasty I couldn’t stop munching them. I don’t grill much for some reason but man that’s going to change. These were too delicious to not make again. Very simple and I love the name, BBQ potato salad, yup!

A little background on our family. We are originally from Kansas/Missouri, Kansas City to be exact and WE LOVE BBQ! It’s one of the things we miss most (there are many) about KC. IT IS THE BEST, PERIOD. So on Friday I decided to give it a whirl. I never really BBQ’d myself back home, I left that to the pro’s. This really isn’t anything like that at all but it gave me a taste and scratched the itch so to speak. Some testing and experimenting is abound… sauces and slow cooking that is. J loved it and as did I, this will be on rotation for sure, with some recipe tinkering each time for sure. I think the first tinkering I’ll do is go by the full recipe below. You will see I eliminated a few ingredients because I either didn’t have them or the girls didn’t like them. Very good all around recipe though.
