...to my wife. Her birthday was actually Sept. 22, but with everything that's been going on, we haven't had time to celebrate. Anyway, I invited the whole zoo and a couple more for a belated celebration. I smoked a whole boneless ribeye and made cheesy scalloped potatoes and a salad. Only 1 pic...

Thanks Mike. I learned a long time ago not to discuss a woman's age...😄
That pan of meat is a thing of beauty! You nailed it. Potatoes look good. I trust all had a great time.
Everyone had a good time, Brian. There was around 30 here and some of those still don't have power so it was a chance to help ease the pain a little...

Thank you Chris
Happy birthday to her, great looking meal to celebrate
I appreciate that Jim. With the hurricane and the aftermath, it's been challenging around here for quite a few so I'm thankful to have the opportunity to celebrate...

Interesting side note, Cat 5 Hurricane Hugo tore through here the night of her birthday in 1989. I told her we're going to quit celebrating her birthday if a hurricane has to come along with it...🤣
 
Happy birthday to your wife, looks like a great dinner to celebrate. 👍
 
Happy birthday to the Mrs. And wow that meal looks elbows deep! Fantastic work Charles.
 
Dang Charles... that's just beautiful! I could get foundered on a meal like that!

Nice job Charles.
Outstanding meal.
Thinking to make a smoked scalloped potato dish for the So Florida gathering in December.
Any tips?
My Daughter learned early on her birthday celebration (December 29) was moved to another time away from the chaos.
Tell Sheila I wish her well and give her a hug for me.
 
Beautiful. That looks like a pan of prime rib. And happy birthday to your wonderful wife!
Thanks Ken! It is prime rib, just without the bone...

Thanks John! As for the scalloped potatoes, I followed this recipe. Since I was using 10 lbs. of potatoes, I multiplied the recipe by 4 or so. I subbed Gruyere for the Raclette. I baked this for around 45 minutes uncovered, but the cheese on top started to brown, so I covered it after about 25 minutes. Then uncovered again after the potatoes got tender.

I sliced the potatoes on a mandolin about ⅛" thick. This big of a recipe can take awhile to cook to get the potatoes tender, but the cheese will get too brown, so cooking longer in the skillet will help. Just be careful because the mixture can burn in the skillet. Using this amount of potatoes, it took me 2 batches in the skillet to cook them all. They were then transferred to the aluminum pan.

Hope this helps. I've done this recipe a few times so if you have any more questions, please ask...
