Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, chopped chives, shredded cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
  2. Wash and dry the potatoes. Prick them several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during smoking.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Rub the seasoned oil mixture all over the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Place the potatoes directly on the smoker grates, making sure they are spread out to allow smoke to circulate around them.
  6. Close the smoker lid and smoke the potatoes for 60-90 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked through. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your potatoes.
  7. Once the potatoes are done, carefully remove them from the smoker and let them cool for a few minutes.
  8. Slice the smoked potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size. You can also leave them whole if preferred.
  9. Serve the smoked potatoes hot with optional toppings such as sour cream, chopped chives, or shredded cheese. Enjoy!
