Ingredients

2 lbs. fingerling potatoes, cut in half vertically
3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 lemon
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 tablespoon Liquid smoke
3/4 cup BBQ dry rub (recipe below)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 cup green onions, sliced

4 cups brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
2/3 cup chili powder
1 cup smoked paprika
1/2 cup black pepper
1/4 cup cumin
1/4 cup granulated garlic
1/4 cup onion powder
1 - 1/2 tablespoons cayenne pepper

Preparation

In a large pot add the potatoes and cover with cold water. Add the garlic, salt, thyme, and liquid smoke.
Bring the water to a boil and reduce to a simmer, cook the potatoes until they are just fork tender (About 30 minutes).
Remove from the heat, drain, and discard the lemons, garlic, and thyme. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly while the dry rub is prepared. *you will not need the whole batch of dry rub*
Toss the potatoes with the vegetable oil gently so they do not break up. Sprinkle the dry rub on the potatoes liberally.
Arrange the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place the potatoes in a 375-degree oven for 45 minutes or until they are nicely caramelized and golden. Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Place the potatoes on a serving dish and drizzle them with your favorite BBQ sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and enjoy.

Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes

These wonderful mashed potatoes are inspired by the Lebanese Mediterranean style of cooking. Olive oil and yogurt provide richness and complexity, instead of the usual butter and sour cream. Choose a mild olive oil. Yukon gold potatoes really shine in this recipe! Garlic cloves cook in the pot along with buttery potatoes, mashing up beautifully for yet another savory layer of flavor.
