Smoked Mashed Potatoes - the ultimate smoked mashed potatoes recipe that is perfect for any meal! Topped with cheese and bacon!
Ingredients
Mashed Potatoes:
- 4 pounds yukon gold potatoes cut into large chunks
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons sour cream
- ½ cup butter sub plant-based butter
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- 2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Toppings:
- 2 cups shredded cheese
- 4-6 thick bacon slices cooked and cut into pieces
- 2 green onions sliced
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat smoker to 225℉.
- Boil Potatoes: Bring a large saucepan or pot of water to boil. Add cut up potatoes (the smaller you cut them the shorter the boil time will be) to pot of boiling water. Boil potatoes for 15-25 minutes or until they are fork tender. Drain potatoes and add to a large mixing bowl.
- Combine: Put the cooked potatoes in a large bowl with ½ cup + 2 tablespoons sour cream, ½ cup butter, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk, ¼ cup ranch dressing, 2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder, and ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper. Let the butter melt/soften for a minute or two. Use a potato masher to mash everything together (alternatively you can use a hand mixer, if you prefer) until the consistency is smooth.
- Adjust: Taste and adjust salt or other ingredients, as-desired.
- Smoke: Pour out mashed potatoes into a 12-inch, deep cast iron skillet and spread out evenly. Place on smoker (uncovered) for 1-2 hours.
- Bacon + Cheese: Remove from smoker and sprinkle with 2 cups shredded cheese then add bacon. Place back on the smoker for approximately 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove and garnish with green onions. Enjoy immediately!
