    That is too funny. I made ham and scalloped potatoes on Sunday and another FAIL on the scalloped potatoes. Taste was great but too much liquid. I am planning to put the leftovers in the blendtec tonight with some homemade chicken stock. Made pea soup with the ham bone yesterday but the freakin dog counter surfed the six pounds of leftover ham.

    I forgot to add I dont peel the potatoes I leave a little under done (runny) so when frozen and reheated it can be thickened up while heating.

    I can tell just by reading the recipe that it's a winner.  Printed it out, I will be making it!

  • Wow, thanks henapple! This finally pushed me to create an account here so that I could thank you. It is really awesome to see someone link to one of my recipes here when I've been a regular visitor to the forum ever since we got our XL BGE a few years ago!

    Side note: our BGE has been pictured in several of our recipes, and we even used it to cook the turkey last year for Thanksgiving. I had found a lot of the tips about cooking it from this forum. :)

    @CenterCutCook...the soup is unbelievable. Simple to cook but fun. I did do something different.. I baked my potatoes on the bottom rack with the bacon on the top rack... Potato soaked in bacon. It's been a big hit, finished it up tonight with a little cornbread.

    Welcome... Love to have you get involved.

  • Thanks for the welcome guys! We still have SO much to learn about cooking with the egg. We tend to stick to the basics - burgers, steaks, ribs (the best!!) and use it most for entertaining. Slowly but surely we're convincing our friends and family to take the plunge and invest in a BGE too. My father in law just bought one over the summer - it took a little convincing but he loves it!

    Dude, I posted on another thread. I can't find my copy of charcouterie. I picked up a couple of bellies today and have a good idea on the flavours I want but I don't remember if you take the skin off. Help out a fellow North American will ya?

  • I did do that scalloped potato soup the other day. Wasn't bad but too much cheese (that's like saying too much bacon I know) but it wasn't wonderful.

    Well, Canada considers the US "North Mexico", so there's that.

    I'd back off the cheese also...people can add more if they want to.

    As I travel I'd have to agree with you

    I take it off after the smoke. Do you need the cure recipe? I posted it a week ago or so. I can dig it up/

  • henapple, that looks devine...thanks for the post and the link.  That just shot to the top of the to cook list.
    @CCC, welcome to the group.   You wrote;"We tend to stick to the basics - burgers, steaks, ribs (the best!!) and use it most for entertaining"... 
    Beside a low and slow cooker, a grill and a pizza oven, the egg is one of the best convection ovens I have ever used/owned.

    You should post some of your non egg recipes and we'll try to incorporate the egg...well, we won't try. ..it'll be done.

    And we will have fun and good eats doing the adaption.  
    One of my favorite is to take Cooks Illustrated or Cooks Country recipes and adapt them to the egg, especially since they panned the egg in their review.

    I made the soup tonight and it is bad ass!! We made tortilla bowls and ate the soup out of them. Great recipe.

    Alright, I already have everything I need for this recipe so I'm making it today.  Will post pics. @henapple I want to do the bacon over the taters, what time and temp works well?  I assume the potatoes go on first and cook a while?  I've got some thick cut Wright Brand bacon.

    I went around 400, indirect...I just put them on at the same time and pulled the bacon when crisp enough to crumble. If the soup gets to thick just add more milk.

    Would a mix of yellow potatoes and red skin potatoes go alright together in this?  I need to get rid of them.
