👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1On the Flatrock, preheat 2 adjacent zones on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes.
2. 2Place potatoes in a microwave safe bowl with 2 Tbsp water. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and puncture a small hole in the center. Place in microwave and cook for 12 minutes on high. Remove from microwave and allow to sit on counter to cool for 5 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and drain any remaining water.
3. 3Evenly coat two adjacent preheated zones with oil and place your potatoes onto Flatrock.
4. 4Using your Traeger Burger Press or a spatula, smash the potatoes down until they are about a half inch thick. Season with Finn and Feather rub to taste and cook for 5 minutes. Then, using a spatula flip the potatoes over, season with more Finn and Feather rub and cook for another 5 minutes.
5. 5Transfer potatoes from Flatrock back into the bowl and place in fridge to cool for about 30 minutes.
6. 6While your potatoes cool, make tzatziki; in a medium mixing bowl, add all ingredients, mix to combine, and set aside.
7. 7Prep vegetables; slice red onion, chop tomato, cucumber, olives, and pepperoncini if using, and remove potatoes from the fridge.
8. 8In your desired serving dish, layer the potatoes, vegetables, and chopped dill like you are making nachos, adding dollops of tzatziki throughout. Top with feta and more dill. Serve Immediately or place in the fridge until ready to serve. Enjoy!
