Description

Ingredients
Potatoes
- 4.5 pounds baby yellow potatoes (slice half of baby potatoes, leave other half whole)
Seasoning and Oil
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon burger seasoning
- 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
Instructions
- Clean Potatoes: Scrub baby potatoes thoroughly with a vegetable brush under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry completely with paper towels to ensure the oil and seasoning stick well.
- Prepare Potatoes: Place the potatoes on a large half-size sheet pan. Drizzle evenly with the extra virgin olive oil to coat all the potatoes.
- Season Potatoes: Sprinkle the burger seasoning and steak seasoning evenly over the potatoes. Use your hands to toss and mix everything ensuring all potatoes are well coated with oil and seasonings.
- Preheat Smoker: Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) to prepare for slow smoking the potatoes.
- Smoke Potatoes: Place the sheet pan with the potatoes in the smoker uncovered. Smoke for 2 hours, checking and stirring the potatoes every 15 minutes to prevent scorching and ensure even cooking.
- Crisp Edges: After 2 hours, check if potatoes are fork tender and golden brown on the edges. If edges are not crispy, increase the smoker temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue cooking for about 15 minutes or until desired crispiness is achieved.
- Serve: Serve the smoked potatoes directly from the sheet pan or transfer to a cast iron skillet to keep warm, perfect for serving alongside your meal.
Notes
- Half of the baby potatoes are sliced while the other half remain whole to create varied textures.
- Stirring the potatoes every 15 minutes is important to avoid burning and ensure even smoking.
- If you do not have a smoker, you can mimic the effect by using a grill with wood chips and indirect heat at similar temperatures.
- This recipe makes a large batch suitable for gatherings, serving approximately 18 people.
