Ingredients

  • 1 & 1/2 pounds mixed baby red and white potatoes
  • 3 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 large sprigs tarragon or 1 1/2 tsp of dry tarragon
  • 1 cup Oscar's Smoked Cheese Curds (available in store) or cubes of Oscar's Smoked Cheddar Cheese (online) SKU: I-G41
  • 1/8 cup chopped garlic scapes or 2 cloves of minced garlic
  • 1/8 cup chopped fresh parsley or 1 tbsp dried parsley
  • to taste Cracked Sea Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash the potatoes and place in a metal grilling pan with the butter/olive oil and water.  Place the sprigs of tarragon over the potatoes and cover with foil.  2) If cooking indoors place the potatoes in a heavy sauce pan with medium heat and cover with a glass lid (add water if needed).  

    3) Cook until the potatoes are cooked (a fork or knife will easily pierce them but they should not be falling apart) - about 20-30 minutes on the grill, but start checking at 15 minutes on the stove.  

    4) Finely chop the garlic scapes or mince the cloves, and chop the fresh parsley.  

    5) Pull from the grill and while piping hot add the Oscar's Smoked Cheese, garlic, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

    6) Serve as a side dish with any of Oscar's Smoked Meats.

Oscars Bacon-Cheddar Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Oscar's 3 year old cheddar cheese
  • 2 1/4 cups Flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Chili powder hot or mild, according to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 4 slices Oscar's Hickory smoked bacon cooked until crisp, blotted on paper towels and finely crumbled
  • 1 tbsp Finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 cup chilled bacon fat
  • 1/4 cup Chilled unsalted butter cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 1 Egg beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Pulse the cheese, flour, baking powder, sugar, chili powder and salt in a food processor until the cheese is well blended. Add the bacon and chives, pulse a couple of times, then add the bacon fat and butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  3. Combine the milk and egg, add to the processor and pulse until the mixture is moistened and begins to pull together in a ball. DO NOT OVER-MIX.
  4. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured board and knead about 10-15 times, until the mixture no longer sticks to the board, adding a little more flour if needed, then flatten it into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Using a sharp 3-inch round cutter, press straight down into the dough. Remove the circles without twisting the dough and place them on an oiled, parchment paper-lined, or non-stick cookie sheet. Bake until the biscuits are risen and golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove and serve warm with butter and honey and ENJOY!!
