3/4 Pound Potatoes, boiled & diced
2 Tsp Herb Seasoning Blend, Everson Cali Garlic & Pepper or Herb Crusted Seasoning, Cajon Seasoning, Chipotle Raspberry Sprinkle, etc.
1/4 Cup Scallions, thin slice
 (Opt) 1 1/2 Tbs EVOO
(Opt) Fresh Herbs, I used fresh thyme sprigs

Scallions & fresh herbs for garnish

Sprinkle the spice blend on the diced potato & load into the bag.  Shake well to combine.  Add in the sliced scallions & the optional fresh herb sprigs & toss again.  Set the rack of ribs on top & seal the bag.

REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS: BBQ on an open grill foil side down, or roast in a 450 oven for 15 mins, until the fully hot.  Let rest for 1 min before opening the bag.  Garnish w/ more fresh herbs & scallions.  Follow all instructions printed on the Ready.Chef.GO! BBQ bag.

NOTE:  Ready.Chef.GO! bags allow for excellent texture & fast high heat cooking in the oven or on the BBQ grill.  The results are always succulent & tender.  You’ll taste the difference.  Use any fully cooked marinated or rubbed ribs that you sell in house and want to market.  You can use any variety of potato, including more exotic varieties like Peruvian purple, organic French fingerlings, yams, sweet potatoes, taro, yucca, any premium potato you want to feature, promote and demo.  Switch it up for winter squashes like butternut, kabocha & spaghetti squash.  Remember that most home cooks do not like to prep hard winter squash.  Do it for them.  Showcase Everson & other spice blends. 

POINT OF SALE DISPLAY:  Sell the prepacked shrink wrapped ribs along side these fully prepared bags.  Your customers will love the meal in a bag option.  Sell Everson & other retail size spice blends in your display.  Add all sorts of green salads mixes & fresh dressings.  Add fruit salads, fruit parfaits, fresh fruit platters.  Display our Ready.Chef.GO! sides like Warm Mexi Slaw Salad, Italian Green Beans with Chicken & Corn on the Cob bags to build a buffet or picnic at your customers fingertips.  Add everything from your deli relevant & seasonal.  Make sure to add the fresh garnishes to the display, fresh herbs, scallions both bunched and pre sliced.  Add salsas, pestos, pico de gallo and more.  Feature party beverages of all kinds, wines, margarita & bloody mary mixers, fresh juices, sparkling everything & of course BBQ sauces, Hot salsas, guacamole & other appetizers.

Twice Baked BBQ Salmon Yams :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Ready.Chef.GO! ::











 
Ready. Chef. GO!

Twice Baked BBQ Salmon Yams


450 Oven or Open BBQ Grill
2 Yams (4 halves) in two BBQ Grilling Bags

2 Medium Yams, pre baked
1/2 Cup Cream Cheese, diced, room temp
1/2 Cup Salmon, cooked, smoked, canned
1/2 Cup Scallions, sliced
1-2 Tsp Rosemary Garlic Sprinkle, Everson Spices

Citrus & Fresh Herbs for garnish

Cut the baked yams in half length wise & scoop the center flesh into a mixing bowl.  Leave a quarter inch of the yam intact along the skin to create a firm boat.  Stir the cooked or smoked salmon into the yam along w/ the diced cream cheese, scallion & rosemary garlic sprinkle.  Load the stuffing mix into the yams & use a fork to press firmly and make a decorative pattern on the top.  Load two halves into each bag (on top of the parchment) & seal the bags for sale. 

REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS: BBQ on an open grill foil side down, or roast in a 450 oven for 20 to 25 mins.  Let rest for 2 mins before opening the bag.  Garnish w/ fresh citrus & herbs.  Follow all instructions printed on the Ready.Chef.GO! BBQ bag.

NOTE:  Ready.Chef.GO! bags allow for excellent texture & fast high heat cooking in the oven or on the BBQ grill.  The results are always succulent & tender.  You’ll taste the difference.  Use any cooked salmon in this, poached, grilled, sauté, etc. or use smoked or canned salmon.  Large chunks & lightly cooked salmon work best. 

POINT OF SALE DISPLAY:  Display these beautiful stuffed yam bags w/ everything to showcase them as both side dish & main course.  Stock the display w/ the salmon used in the yams, for example, fresh, deli, smoked & canned salmon options.  Add more bags of BBQ fare like our dogs and corn in bags.  Add all the fixings, potato, 3 bean & macaroni salads, fresh fruit salads, spice blends, yam fries & chips, lots of BBQ beverages, sparkling flavored water, beer, etc.  Add relevant condiments like bread & butter pickles, relish, etc.  Everything sweet and sour goes well on this display.
