Introducing the "Dune Spud" aka Turtle Taters (pepper/ sweet onion infused) with mashed potatoes & Roast Beef/Gravy

[Fwismoker]

Well as some of you know it's been a challenging week for me...But upwards and onward we go!

After all the ribbing with the "Dune Spud" I had to come with something. :biggrin1:

Check out all the GREAT cooks in the potato TD! http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3166906#post3166906

Here's the main ingredients.

Baked potatoes lately I core out the center and replace with a onion core (Gives great flavor!) I started with the onions on the bottom then the top i used Jalapeno, red & yellow bell peppers. The left over were sauteed for the cheesy mashed taters.

I used smokey links for the turtle legs and cored potato for the turtle heads.

Great Cook!
Thanks...most times i just core out the center long ways and replace with an onion, it does add some serious good sweet flavor i think.
