Our simple Smoked Potatoes recipe is full of all the best flavors and perfect for enjoying with any main course!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs baby Yukon gold potatoes or baby red potatoes, quartered or 1-inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil (sub extra virgin olive oil)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 tablespoon butter (regular or plant-based)
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees F.
- Season Potatoes: Place potatoes in a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder and 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram. Stir to coat the potatoes.
- Foil Boat: Create an aluminum foil boat and spray the bottom with non-stick cooking spray or olive oil. Put the potatoes inside. Place a tablespoon of butter on top.
- Smoke: Place potatoes on the smoker and close the lid. Let smoke for 1.5 – 2 hours. Increase smoker temp to 350 degrees F. and let potatoes continue to cook for 20-30 minutes – or until they have reached your desired softness.
- Serve: Remove from smoker and serve immediately.
Notes
- Cook Time: cooking times can vary a lot with smoking recipes simply because there are so many variables at play which can impact time: humidity, temperature, hot spots on the grill, wind, etc. After testing on a Traeger Smoker we found that after 3+ hours at 225 degrees F the potatoes were smokey, but not soft so we finished cooking them at a higher temp. This resulted in a smokey, soft potato – feel free to cook longer or less depending upon your smoker and your desired softness.
- Add-Ins: feel free to add in some onions or garlic – both would be good in here!
- Russet Potatoes: feel free to use russet potatoes if you want! They may cook a little faster, so just test the potatoes often for doneness!
