Foil Boat: Create a foil boat and spray the bottom with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the potatoes inside. Place a dollop or two of butter (or ghee or plant butter) on top.
Smoke: Place on the smoker and close the lid. Let smoke for 1 ½ - 2 hours. Increase smoker temp to 350℉ and let potatoes continue to cook for 20-30 minutes - or until they have reached your desired softness.
Serve: Remove from smoker and enjoy 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 your grill, wind, etc. After testing on a Traeger 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!
