  When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 450°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.

  Pierce each potato a few times with a fork, then add to a large microwave-safe bowl with the water and 1 tablespoon of Traeger Anything Rub. Toss to coat. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high power until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes.

• 3

  Brush a large rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of duck fat and sprinkle with Traeger Anything Rub.

• 4

  Carefully uncover the bowl with the potatoes (the steam inside the bowl will be very hot) and use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet, leaving any excess water behind. Let the potatoes dry and cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

• 5

  Using the bottom of a cup or a flat spatula, smash each potato to about ½ inch thick into the fat and seasoning on the baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons of duck fat over the potatoes and season generously with Traeger Anything Rub. Gently toss until the potatoes are well coated.

• 6

  Place the baking sheet directly on the lowest grill grate. Close the lid and roast the potatoes until golden brown and crispy, gently flipping halfway, about 30 minutes total.
