Ingredients
Burnt End Potatoes
- 2 lbs. fingerling potatoes, cut in half vertically
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 sprig fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon Liquid smoke
- 3/4 cup BBQ dry rub (recipe below)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
BBQ Dry Rub
- 4 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup kosher salt
- 2/3 cup chili powder
- 1 cup smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup black pepper
- 1/4 cup cumin
- 1/4 cup granulated garlic
- 1/4 cup onion powder
- 1 - 1/2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
Preparation
- In a large pot add the potatoes and cover with cold water. Add the garlic, salt, thyme, and liquid smoke.
- Bring the water to a boil and reduce to a simmer, cook the potatoes until they are just fork tender (About 30 minutes).
- Remove from the heat, drain, and discard the lemons, garlic, and thyme. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly while the dry rub is prepared. *you will not need the whole batch of dry rub*
- Toss the potatoes with the vegetable oil gently so they do not break up. Sprinkle the dry rub on the potatoes liberally.
- Arrange the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place the potatoes in a 375-degree oven for 45 minutes or until they are nicely caramelized and golden. Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
- Place the potatoes on a serving dish and drizzle them with your favorite BBQ sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and enjoy.
