Directions

1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

5. Place the potatoes directly on the smoker grates, making sure they are spread out to allow smoke to circulate around them.

7. Once the potatoes are done, carefully remove them from the smoker and let them cool for a few minutes.

9. Serve the smoked potatoes hot with optional toppings such as sour cream, chopped chives, or shredded cheese. Enjoy!
