This was my adaption from a recipe by Jackie from The Beeroness Blog. I used gorgonzola instead of blue cheese, for me it’s not as sharp. I used lager beer instead of the IPA and did the potatoes and bacon in my smoker instead of the oven.
I placed the potatoes, 1 ½ lbs. instead of 2, in a wire basked and laid 6 slices of bacon on top. I did them at 200 deg. for a ½ hour of smoke and then eased up to 340 deg. grill level. At 1 hour 45 minutes the bacon was done so I removed it stirred the potatoes some and they were on another 15 minutes.
After the potatoes and bacon had cooled some I mixed up the dressing and added it. It set out to serve warm. I was fixing it for our supper but the son called and invited us down for brat burgers so I took it down there.
I liked the potato salad but for me the potatoes were not just right. They were done but I thought a little tough. They might be better roasted at a higher temperature.
Check out Jackie’s site for some good recipes using craft beers if you like to cook with beer.

Don't know that I've ever had potato salad made from roasted potatoes but this one looks like the way to make that introduction.

Excellent Don. Thanks for posting the recipe.
We've done roasted potato salad before and it adds a different depth of flavor and a little crispness to it. It's a nice change.
I'm looking forward to making this soon!
