Equipment
- Smoker or Pellet Grill
Ingredients
- 1 lb potatoes Russet, Yellow, Gemstone, or your favorite type
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 head garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Toppings
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- fresh parsley
Instructions
- Rinse the potatoes and pierce the skins with a knife or fork.
- Place the potatoes in a bowl or plastic bag.
- Mix olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and dried herbs with the potatoes.
- Marinade for at least 1 hour. The longer the potatoes marinate the better so overnight in the refrigerator alongside marinated meats is ideal.
- Preheat the smoker for at least 10 minutes at 225°F.
- Place the potatoes with the marinade into aluminum foil or a metal tray with raised edges.
- If using aluminum foil, curl the edges of the foil to make walls to contain the marinade.
- Do NOT wrap or fully cover the potatoes. The smoke needs to reach the potatoes to give them a smoky flavor.
- Smoke for 2 hours at 225°F.
- Remove the potatoes from the smoker and pour into a bowl.
- Garnish with parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
Notes
- Bonus Tip: These potatoes can be mashed to make delicious smoky mashed potatoes!
- A splash of water can be added to the tray or aluminum foil to keep the potatoes moist if they appear to be drying out.
