1
Wash and Prepare Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2
Cut Potatoes
Cut each potato in half lengthwise to create two equal halves. If desired, you can also cut them into wedges for a different presentation.

3
Mix Marinade
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh rosemary. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully blended.
4
Coat Potatoes
Add the halved or wedged potatoes to the marinade and toss them gently until they are well coated with the mixture. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

5
Prepare Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Use your choice of wood chips for smoking, such as hickory or applewood, which pair well with potatoes.
6
Smoke Potatoes
Place the marinated potatoes directly on the smoker grates, cut side up. Close the smoker lid and let them smoke for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they are tender and infused with a smoky flavor.

7
Serve
Once the potatoes are done smoking, remove them from the smoker, allow them to cool slightly, and serve warm. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or topped with your favorite condiments.
