Ingredients

3 pounds potatoes sliced into ¼ inch rounds
⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
1 medium onion finely diced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1¼ teaspoons sea salt
¾ teaspoon black pepper
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
2 cups cheddar cheese grated
½ cup crispy bacon bits for garnish
3 tablespoons chopped green onion or chives for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your pellet grill to 225°F.
Arrange half of the potatoes in a greased foil pan in an overlapping pattern. Combine diced onion, garlic, melted butter, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle half of the mixture over the potatoes. Arrange the rest of the potatoes in an overlapping pattern and sprinkle the remaining seasoning mixture over the potatoes.
Pour the heavy cream over the potato mixture, and top with Parmesan cheese and shredded cheddar cheese.
Place the pan of potatoes on the pellet grill, close the lid, and smoke for 2-2.5 hours, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Garnish with chopped onion and bacon bits and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Slice the potatoes the same size so they cook evenly. Thicker potatoes will take longer to cook than thinner potatoes.
If using baby potatoes, cut them into halves or quarters.
Don't open the lid more than you have to.
Test for doneness by piercing the potatoes with a fork.
