Servings: persons

5 lbs colorado gold potatoes, washed quartered
1/2 cup fresh sweet basil, minced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, minced
1/3 cup fresh stevia, plant minced
6 slices thick cut pepper bacon, diced
3 teaspoons dried ground dill weed
18 hard boiled large brown eggs, diced
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish (zucchini is better)
8 red yellow orange sweet bell pepper, diced
1 large vidalia onion, diced
6 green onions with tops, diced
4 stalks celery, diced
For the dressing
2 1/2 cups Miracle Whip
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
4 tablespoons dried cilantro
2 tablespoons dried tarragon, flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons dried rosemary
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons honey mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons celery seeds
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
1/4 cup sugar

1
Dice bacon into small 1/2 inch squares. Fry up peppered bacon and reserve the grease. Slather potatoes with bacon grease, season heavily with kosher salt, fresh cracked black pepper and dill weed.
2
Preheat grill set up for indirect low heat (225 degrees). Add apple wood chips soaked in water for 1 hour to create smoke. Arrange potato quarters over drip pan and smoke for 1 - 1 1/2 hours, turn occasionally and move around if you have hot spots, until almost fork tender. (They should still hold together but bite through nicely al dente).
3
While those are smoking, make dressing. In a blender mix together all ingredients for dressing until smooth and all the herbs are nicely incorporated into the dressing. Taste, you may need to add a bit more sugar to your liking. Remove from blender, put into non-reactive bowl. Set aside in fridge.
4
While potatoes are still smoking, dice/mince all salad ingredients, refrigerate. Once potatoes are done, let them cool completely before dicing them. Once diced, combine with other egg/veggies mixture. Pour sauce over top and gently mix ingredients together. Garnish with paprika, basil leaves, cooked reserved bacon. ENJOY!
