1

Slice 3 large russet potatoes really thin, about less than an eighth of an inch thick.

2

Soak the sliced potatoes in water for about 30 minutes, pour off the water, soak again, and pour off again to remove excess starch.

3

Butter the bottom and sides of a doubled aluminum pan with about 1/2 stick of butter.

4

Layer the bottom of the pan with the sliced potatoes, overlapping them.

5

Add a layer of cheese (1 cup cheddar) and pour some heavy cream (1 cup) over the potatoes.

6

Sprinkle Bama Q Butter Bomb seasoning and All Cued Up Steak Shake seasoning between the layers.

7

Repeat the layering process until you have three layers of potatoes, cheese, and cream.

8

Place the pan on the Hasty Bake grill set between 400-425°F, adding a chunk of hickory wood for smoke flavor.

9

Cook for about 1 hour, checking for tenderness after 45 minutes, and rotate the pan every 15 minutes if needed.

10

Remove from the grill when golden brown and bubbly, which took about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
