Traeger Grilled Potatoes with Venison Bacon Recipe
Use some of your venison bacon for this tasty side dish that is perfect for camp or home.
Nothing goes better with meat than potatoes. And, if those potatoes are cooked on the Traeger Grill or a campfire, it makes them even better. Add in some venison bacon and you might not even need a main course to go with them.
Potatoes and venison bacon make a great side dish or even a meal.
We layer sliced Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced onions, and lots of our smoked venison bacon in a deep Lodge skillet or small Dutch oven, then top with butter before cooking on the Traeger Grill or over a campfire.
Cook on the grill or over a low campfire until the potatoes are cooked through.
The result is smoky, bacony, tender goodness. Serve alongside any wild game for a meal your family or guests will love.

3-4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced
1 Medium yellow onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
