Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Potatoes

    Thoroughly wash the jumbo potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.

  2. 2

    Prick Potatoes

    Using a fork, prick each potato several times to allow steam to escape during the cooking process.

  3. 3

    Season Potatoes

    In a large bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Coat each potato evenly with the mixture.

Smoking

  1. 4

    Prepare Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) using your choice of wood chips for smoking.

  2. 5

    Place Potatoes in Smoker

    Once the smoker is ready, place the seasoned potatoes directly on the grates. Close the lid.

  3. 6

    Smoke Potatoes

    Smoke the potatoes for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Serving

  1. 7

    Finishing Touches

    Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the smoker and let them cool slightly.

  2. 8

    Garnish

    Chop fresh chives and sprinkle them over the smoked potatoes for added flavor and presentation.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve the jumbo smoked potatoes hot as a side dish or a tasty snack.
