INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640S Pellet Grill to 400ºF set up for indirect grilling (diffuser installed).
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes. Spray with duck fat. Season with Plowboys BBQ Yardbird Rub.
  3. Wrap three slices of bacon around each sweet potato, covering the entire surface. Lightly season the bacon with Plowboys BBQ Yardbird Rub.
  4. Place the bacon wrapped sweet potatoes on a wire jerky/cooling rack. Transfer the rack to the second shelf of the grill.
  5. To make the Maple Miso Glaze, combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
  6. When the potatoes have cooked for one hour, place the wire rack over a sheet pan, then brush a layer of the glaze onto each bacon wrapped sweet potato.

  8. Serve whole or sliced into medallions.
