Our simple Smoked Potatoes recipe is full of all the best flavors and perfect for enjoying with any main course!

Ingredients 

  • 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!
  • Leftovers: we love this Deviled Egg Potato Salad
