Smoked twice baked potatoes

4 potatoes

4 oz cream cheese

1/2 cup whole milk

2 tbsp butter

2 tsp salt

1 tbsp pepper

4 pieces of cheese (your choice: cheddar, pepper jack, & swiss are my choice but its hard to go wrong)

vegetable oil

Rinse potatoes under the sink briskly to get all the dirt off. Rub vegetable oil over the skin and wrap in aluminum foil. Cook potatoes in the oven at 375 for about an hour and 15 minutes, you will know when they are done because you will be able to easily poke them with a fork without any resistance. Remove and wait 10 minutes. Cut them in half long ways and scoop out the insides carefully so you don't tear the skin. In a bowl, place all the ingredients, except the oil and cheese, with the scooped potatoes and mix thoroughly. Spoon the potato mixture back into the skins. place the cheese over the potatoes and cook for another 15 minutes at 250 degrees. You can cook them in the oven but if you have the time to set up your grill for indirect smoking(in the methods section on the website) the cheese will really soak up the smoke flavor. This is great with a Red Stripe lager.

Christmas brunch

 

1 bag of hashbrowns

1 dozen eggs

2 cups of cheese (your choice, I use muenster and sharp cheddar)

1/2 onion chopped

1 cup of oil

Cook the hash browns oil and onion in a large deep skillet, that you have a top for, until crispy. Toss gently so not to mash the hash browns. Then flatten the hash browns with a spatula. Break all the eggs over the hash browns evenly being careful not to break the yolks, unless desired. sprinkle the cheese over the top, salt and pepper as desired. Put the top on, turn to low and cook for 5 to 10 minutes for runny eggs, and 20 for hard eggs. The picture below is hard, obviously.

For a little spice- add jalapeno to the hash brown mixture.
