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