Smoking potatoes can take your culinary adventures to a whole new level. The smoky flavors intensify the natural sweetness of the potatoes, creating a mouth-watering dish. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps of smoking potatoes to perfection.

Why Smoke Potatoes?

You might be wondering, why go through the trouble of smoking potatoes when you can simply bake or fry them? Well, smoking imparts a unique and irresistible smoky flavor that adds complexity to your dish. If you’re a fan of grilled foods, smoking potatoes will undoubtedly become your new favorite cooking method.

What You’ll Need

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • Wood chips of your choice (hickory, apple, or mesquite work well)
  • Aluminum foil
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to achieve perfectly smoked potatoes:

  1. Prepare your smoker: Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add your preferred wood chips. Let them smolder until they start producing smoke.
  2. Prep the potatoes: Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce each potato with a fork a few times to allow the smoke to penetrate the flesh.
  3. Coat the potatoes: Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and season them generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to evenly coat each potato.
  4. Wrap them up: Individually wrap each potato tightly in aluminum foil, ensuring there are no gaps or openings.
  5. Place in smoker: Carefully place the foil-wrapped potatoes directly on the smoker grates.
  6. Smoke ’em: Smoke the potatoes for approximately 2 to 3 hours, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the potatoes.
  7. Remove and serve: Once done, carefully remove the potatoes from the smoker using tongs. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before unwrapping.
