The Ingredients
- Baked potatoes (2 potatoes). I recommend russet potatoes for their starchy consistency. They do a really nice job of absorbing the smoke.
- Olive oil (1.5 tbsp). To act as a binder for the seasoning.
- Seasoning (1.5 tsp). Use your favorite seasoning here. You can't go wrong with just salt & pepper.
The Directions
1. Scrub and dry your potatoes. Meanwhile, preheat your smoker to 225F.
2. Pierce the potato skin with a fork on all sides. Then season with the olive oil and seasoning rub.
3. With your smoker running at 225F, place the potatoes on the grill grates for around 2 hours, or until you can stick a butter knife right through them without any resistance.
Then, serve with your favorite toppings.
