Smoked Potatoes

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds small Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  • Wood chips or chunks for smoking; smoker box for wood chips if using a gas grill

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a grill for medium-high, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Scatter a handful of wood chips over coals if using a charcoal grill, or place in smoker box and place over direct heat if using a gas grill.

Toss potatoes and oil in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Arrange potatoes over indirect heat and close grill lid, positioning top vent directly above potatoes if possible. Smoke potatoes, turning occasionally, until fork-tender, 45–60 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let cool slightly. Tear all or some of the potatoes open if desired.
