Smoked Potatoes Recipe
Make these flavorful Smoked Potatoes with 8 simple ingredients and are the perfect addition to any main course!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes 1-inch chunks (or baby red potatoes)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil sub extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 tablespoon butter regular or plant-based
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the smoker to 225℉.
- Season Potatoes: Place potatoes in a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon avocado oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, ¼ teaspoon dried oregano leaves, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder and ¼ 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 1 tablespoon butter on top.
- Smoke: Place potatoes on the smoker and close the lid. Let smoke for 1 ½ - 2 hours. Increase the smoker temperature 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 serve immediately.
Notes
- Cook Time: it will 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. During 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: can be used, but they may cook a little faster, so just test the potatoes often for doneness!
- Leftovers: we love this Deviled Egg Potato Salad.
