8 Tablespoon | (1 stick) salted butter |
1/2 Teaspoon | freshly ground black pepper |
6 Teaspoon | favorite BBQ rub |

Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Generously salt the water. Bring to a boil on the stovetop and cook for 3-4 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let stand for 5 minutes.

Add the butter to a baking dish large enough to hold the potatoes. Place the baking dish on the grill grates. Set the Traeger temperature to 375°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

Transfer the potatoes to the baking dish with the melted butter. Close the lid and roast the potatoes, turning every 20 minutes, until they are fork-tender and golden brown all over, 60-75 minutes total.

Meanwhile, make the chipotle mayo: Add the egg yolk, salt, ground mustard, lemon juice, sugar, vinegar, chipotle chile powder, and Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub to a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. With the processor running, very slowly pour in the oil, starting with a few drops at a time until you've used a quarter of the oil then adding the rest in a slow stream. The mayo should thicken and tighten once all of the oil is added. If the mayo is too thick, add a splash of water to thin. The mayo will separate if it gets too warm; stop and chill in the refrigerator if needed during mixing. The mayo will keep at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Remove the potatoes from the grill and serve with the chipotle mayo alongside. Enjoy!
