How To Make Smoked Baked Potatoes

Smoked baked potatoes are very beginner-friendly if you're just starting to use your smoker.

All you need are baked potatoes, olive oil, a little seasoning, and the recipe is so easy, it's virtually impossible to mess up!

If you love baked potatoes, you'll love this smoky version. Soft, fluffy potatoes with a crispy skin, infused with smoky flavor goodness.

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. 

Note: you might also like my smoked garlic mashed potatoes as well.

  • Cooking Temperature. We smoked these potatoes at 225F until they became fork tender. 
  • Cooking Time. These potatoes took about 2 hours to finish smoking.

  • To Store. You can store these smoked baked potatoes in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
