The Inspiration
On Griddle Nation, Nate Lippy takes inspiration from viral internet recipes and adapts them for the flat-top griddle. This Bacon Lattice Tomato Sandwich embraces a popular bacon-weaving technique while turning it into a complete meal with warm potato salad.
The warm potato salad takes the same comfort-food approach. Red potatoes are cooked with Blackstone Fajita Seasoning, then combined while still warm with colorful bell peppers, mayonnaise, mashed avocado, chopped bacon, and lime juice. The result is creamy, smoky, fresh, and slightly tangy.
