Put potatoes in a bag with the onion soup mix and olive oil to mix.

We like to do our potatoes on the grill, love the smoke flavor. The neat thing about potatoes is that you can season them up anyway you want. We sometimes give a little spritz of olive oil and put them into a plastic bag with our favorite dry soup mix. Mix them up well. Or hit them with Chipotle chili powder, whatever you like, works.

Directions: Potatoes Steak fries are big, so cut your potato into big pieces. They will take a long time to cook on the grill. Whatever meat you were grilling would be toast. So, put them into a big Dutch oven and bring them to a hard boil for 3 minutes.

Don’t go any longer than 3 minutes or so, because they will turn to mush before you can brown them. Then, they will never get crispy. We run cold water over them to stop the cooking.

At this point they are halfway done. Oil them and hit them with the seasoning you want. Put them on the grill, turning them now and then so they brown evenly. When they crisp up to where you like them, plate them.

Cooking Directions: Royall 3000 Wood Pellet Grill

Open the lid and set the switch to “Smoke”, after about five minutes shut the lid. Give it about 10 minutes to heat up. Patti has lined the drip pan with foil for me, it makes for easier clean up.

Place everything directly onto the grill and just let it hang out in the smoke and get happy for 30 minutes or so. This is referred to as “ smoking”. The temperature is around 160 degrees. 30 minutes of smoking is not enough to have any cooking effect on your meat, but it is enough to open the pores up so that the meat can pick up all the flavor of the smoke.

After 30 minutes, turn the control up to medium, 300 degrees and pull the meat off the grill. Just let the potatoes, garlic and onions go for ½ hour. (Stir every now and then) After a ½ hour turn the control to the high setting for another 10 minutes.

Keep an eye on your garlic and potatoes here. Add your steaks and grill them for about 9 minutes per side. The cooking times will vary a bit from grill to grill and the weather. But, it is a good rule of thumb. When the meat reaches an internal temp around 130, pull it off, cover it and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

This will be rare to medium rare. Keep in mind that the meat will continue cooking for another 10 degrees after you pull it off the grill. So, for medium pull it at 140 and overdone 160.

Note: I get a lot of questions about the kind of pellets you can use with a recipe. Keep in mind that a recipe is just an outline. Some you need to follow closely like when you are making bread. But, most you can do anything you can dream, our favorite way to cook. Feel free to mix and match the pellets until you find a combination you really like.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 11 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour Grill: Gas

Preparing Grill: Medium Indirect Heat, Potatoes and Garlic Preheat your grill to medium heat (350) and turn off one side so you will be cooking with indirect heat. Add your wet hickory chips over the fire and oil the grill. A cooking spray is easiest for this.

(Note: you can add your hickory directly to the grill or you can use foil smoke packets.(Two handfuls wet chips and one dry, fold foil into a packet, poke holes in it with a fork and you’re good to go.)

After 30 minutes turn your grill up to high and add the meat.

Preparing Grill: High Indirect Heat Preheat your grill to High heat (400-500) and turn off one side so you will be cooking with indirect heat. Add your wet hickory chips to the fire and oil the grill. A cooking spray is easiest for this.

(Note: you can add your hickory directly to the grill or you can use foil smoke packets.(Two handfuls wet chips and one dry, fold foil into a packet, poke holes in it with a fork and you’re good to go.)

Preparing Charcoal Grill Get the grill ready.
You will want your temperature at around 400-500 degrees. Remember, you are going for high heat here for about 14 minutes. Bank your coals over to one side of your grill. Add your “drained wood chips” and you are good to go…

Your cooking times and temps will be the same as above.

Cooking In the Oven:
We have been getting requests for recipe conversions for the oven. I tell folks all the time that cooking on a wood pellet grill is just as easy as cooking in your oven. Just about anyone can do it and do it well.

Think about it. You set your control knob to the temp you want, put your meat in and leave it for a set time. It is the same thing, time and temp. is what it is all about. The Royall is just like your oven except it uses wood pellets and has wheels. If you want to smoke in your oven they sell oven smokers for that.

I, myself, would not spend the money on one of those when you can make your own out of foil. Foil smoke packets. (Two handfuls wet chips and one dry, fold foil into a packet, poke holes in it with a fork and you’re good to go.) Just set it in the oven.

You might want to make sure you turn on your vent fan or your house will fill up with smoke. You will give your alarms a good work out.

About our Recipes
We do our recipes on our patio where we have a lineup of grills, including Royall Wood Pellet Grill, Traeger, Charm Glow, Char-Broil, Brinkman and Weber. I call it our “Wall of Grill”. Our grilling styles will fit pellet heads, gas, natural wood and even charcoal purists.

Almost any of our recipes can be done on any kind of good BBQ. The important thing to keep in mind is TIME & TEMPERATURE. You can even do some of them in the oven or crock pot. But, then you lose all the flavors you get from cooking outdoors. But sometimes it does rain.

Remember that a recipe is simply an outline; it is not written in stone.
Don’t be afraid to make changes to suit your taste.

Take it and run with it….
Live Your Passion,
Ken & Patti
