Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Season the Potatoes

    Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Make sure to coat them evenly.

  3. 3

    Smoke the Potatoes

    Place the seasoned potatoes directly on the smoker grates. Close the lid and smoke for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

  4. 4

    Bake the Potatoes

    After smoking, you can bake the potatoes in an oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes to achieve a crispy skin, if desired.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the potatoes from the smoker or oven, cut them open, and add butter, sour cream, and chopped chives as toppings. Serve warm.
