Place ribs directly on the grill grate meat side up or in the Traeger rib rack with the bones leaning against the rack. Cook for 3 hours.4
After the first hour, spray the ribs with the apple juice. Spray every hour after that with apple juice.5
After cooking for 3-4 hours, brush the ribs on all sides with Traeger 'Que BBQ sauce.6
Return to the grill for 30 minutes to an hour to "tighten" the sauce.7
For the potatoes salad: Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper and place on a cookie sheet. Place cookie sheet directly on the grill grate and cook for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.8
Remove from the grill and place hot potatoes in a medium bowl. Drizzle with vinegar and toss with hard boiled eggs, sour cream, dill, parsley and green onions.9
