Smoked Potatoes

[kitt]

I stated smoking potatoes when I was noticing that at the end of a smoke the smoker still had a great temp and everything was running good and i didn't want to let it go to waste

I peeled up some potatoes, covered with EVOO, a bit of salt and pepper. added a hand full of coals and a hand full of chips. After dinner I removed the potatoes (about 2 or 3 hours) and mashed them up with some fresh chives, let them cool and placed them in the fridge. The next morning I scooped them out and flattened between parchment paper and made potato cakes for breakfast turned out great. I've also spread the mix out on the bottom a casserole dish added some cooked bacon or ground sausage, sautéed veggies, scrambled eggs and cheese and baked for 20 mins for a breakfast casserole 

There is some great ideas on this post that I will try

thanks

Personally I hate the par boiling of anything.  First, it takes away the absorttion rate of any meat or veggie.  The question was, does a potato absorb smoke?  Absolutely.  When smoking a potato, wash it thoroughly, dry it, use a kitchen fork to poke 12 to 16 holes in the potato, rub with whatever seasoning (I prefer sea salt and garlic) you prefer, put it on indirect heat at approximately 225 degrees and smoke indirectly for 1.5 hours.  You will love the flavor.  Been doing this for years both personally and when I owned 4 restaurants.

I smoked new nugget potatoes and made them into a salad with kalamata olives , parsley, Dijon & evoo. Was excellent. Smoked at 400 for about 40 min with hickory chips.

I like to ***** the potato all over with a knife....rub with evoo, then sprinkle with fresh cracked black pepper and kosher salt.

I lay them directly on the grate and smoke with what ever meat I'm doing.

The temperature can be anywhere from 220 to 300+...it doesn't really matter, the hotter, the faster they will be ready.

Then I give them a squeeze after 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to see if they are ready, I let them cook until they are tender to the touch.

Tried my hand at potatoes yesterday for the first time, googling the idea led me to this thread and ended up in my joining the board while I was smoking yesterday

I rubbed in EVOO and sea salt and put them on the pit naked.

after about 3 hours they were still hard so I wrapped them up in foil, and after a couple hours they were still a little under cooked.

flavor was great, but I think next time I will poke holes with a fork to help speed the cook 

will resist the microwave as much as possible :)

I am attempting my first smoke Sunday. I am going to smoke a small 2.5# bacon wrapped loin with brown sugar glaze for the wife and I am going to definitely throw a couple taters in there with it. From the sounds of things I will probably need to nuke the taters to half done before putting them in with the loin so it will all finish up at the same time. Question is do I nuke them then rub with EVOO and S&P or rub then nuke? I plan to smoke my loin at 225 until I get an IT of 145 so I don't think the taters will get done in the 2-2.5 hours it will take the loin.

Sounds yummy. Has anyone tried those little baby red potatoes in the smoker?
