what's cooking on the 4th?

[Finney]

Panther, You gotta switch to Lexington style salw. That is one of the things that makes Lexington BBQ different than any where else. :!:

Witt,, lots of folks in NC eat boiled taters with their q. Here's a recipe.

5 pounds potatoes
4 large yellow onions
1/4 cup bacon drippings
1 20 oz bottle catsup
1/4 to 1/2 cup Texas Pete or other hot sauce
1/3 cup sugar
salt and pepper to taste.

Peel taters and onions and cut into large chunks. Cover with water
in a large pot. Add remaining ingrediants, stir and bring to boil.
Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 30 to 40 minutes.
Serves 15 to 20.

But panther mention bbq taters. Or did he make a mistake and mean boiled. I've grilled mine before but never smoked them.

Witt, a baked potato split down the center and loaded with BBQ, cheese, sauce, and whatever else you want to put on it is great also. :!:

I'm 99 percent sure my recipe is what he's referring to. Down east (eastern NC), barbecue potatoes are potatoes boiled in barbecue sauce...
it's a regional thing. You don't find it as much in the western half of the state, but it goes good with q. The taters take on a hint of the flavor of the sauce...pretty dang good. I've only seen it in NC.

He may be talking about smoked potatoes or the loaded potatoes Finney
referred too, but barbecue, not barbecued, potatoes is a preferred
side dish in many eastern NC households.

Making my famous Walter Burgers , mine are hand pressed , they come out being 2 inches thick when done , we eat ours grilled at medium. I have things like cheddar cheese, mushrooms , etc for what ever you want to stuff them with. Usually use some seasonings I have on hand . Niki is hand cutting the fries , we cut a really sweet watermelon this afternoon. She is even making double dark choclate frosting cake ( my favorite).
Sometimes simple is a good thing. HAVE A HAPPY 4TH EVERBODY!!!! :grin:

 

[wittdog]

Walter Double Chocolate Cake =P~ Homemade Fries and BABurgers...now your talking....

I've tried making a good Lexington style slaw and just can't get it right. I finally resorted to the blend of flavors that I mentioned earlier and to be honest I think it's going to be hard to beat.

Captain is absolutely right, that's what I was referring to. Boiled potatoes in Texas Pete spiced water. Good stuff guys. The potatoes take on the flavor of the onions and the Texas Pete. Great compliment to pulled pork BBQ.

A meal in itself =P~

 

[Nick Prochilo]

[ScottyDaQ]

That looks awesome. My parents had those same Correll plates. :grin:

 

[Uncle Bubba]

I discovered these in Tenn. on vacation. Went home and put some good bbq on it and was hooked. Works best with finely chopped brisket put pulled pork is good too. They are a meal.
