Serves: 4 - 6

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 60 minutes

Indirect Heat: 475F - 500F

What you'll need:

4 white potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/4 cup canola oil (or olive oil)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup butter cubed
6 slices cooked bacon crumbled
2 green onions chopped

1 large aluminum pan or 2 smaller ones to hold all potatoes on one layer

Step 1:
Place all the peeled, cubed potatoes in a resealable plastic bag with the 1/4 cup oil.

Swish the potatoes around to fully coat them in the oil.

Add the garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, mustard powder, salt and pepper - reseal the bag and swish the contents to fully coat the potatoes with this mixture.

Pour into the aluminum pan(s).

Cover the potatoes with the chopped green onions, bacon and the cubed butter.

Step 2:
Preheat the grill to 475F - 500F and set up for indirect grilling.

When the grill reaches temperature place the tray(s) of Au gratin potatoes on the grill not over direct heat.

Close the lid.

Step 3:
Every 15 minutes rotate the trays around so the potatoes are evenly heated.

Stir the potatoes and close the lid of the grill.
When the potatoes are cooked (crispy and a fork penetrates them easily) remove them from the grill and serve immediately.

Offer grated cheese and sour cream on the side to garnish.

Enjoy!
