Seasoned potatoes on fork

The potatoes turn out crispy on the outside, yet light and fluffy on the inside. Plus, with this delicious seasoning with garlic powder, oregano, thyme and parsley these Smoked Potatoes are perfection. It’s making me hungry just thinking about it!

Potatoes on the smoker, don’t you just love the sound of that?!! We are all about potatoes in our house AND all about how easy this is to make! Bonus? The kids love them too – simple flavors perfectly cooked! If you love the recipe for Smoked Cheesy Potato Casserole or Smoked Baked Potatoes you’ll love this dish too!

This recipe was born because I actually grabbed a “premade” packet of potatoes just like this at the grocery store. I literally took the top off the foil pan, dumped in the seasoning and add a little olive oil. They were so good that I had to make my own “copycat” recipe!

What is the best seasonings for potatoes?

You’ll have everything you need in your pantry, no need to go to the store and get some special seasoning!

This recipe uses tender baby or “creamer” potatoes. Harvesting them in the early keeps them tender. The small size makes them fun for the little ones and easy serving too.

  • Garlic powder
  • Oregano
  • Thyme
  • Parsley

Steps to Prepare Smoked Potatoes

The beauty in this dish is the simplicity! Here are the simple steps to make this delicious side dish!

  • Prep Smoker – Preheat your pellet grill.
  • Season Potatoes – Spray the foil pan with non-stick cooking spray. Add all of the ingredients into the pan – mix well and onto the smoker it goes.
  • Smoke – Stir every 15 minutes. Cook about 45 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through.

Tips for choosing creamer potatoes

  • Creamer potatoes come in white, yellow or red varieties, choose your favorite.
  • Look for plump potatoes, do not choose potatoes with shriveled skin or potatoes that are beginning to sprout.
  • Avoid potato that have a “green” appearance. Those are not quite ripe and will not have good flavor.
  • Choosing potatoes of a uniform size will ensure they will all be done at the same time.

What is the best method to store potatoes?

  • Store potatoes in a cool dark place – not the refrigerator! The cold temperatures of the fridge will turn the starch of the potatoes into sugar. They become sweet and can discolor when cooked.
  • Potatoes will keep at room temperature for up to two weeks.
  • Best bet? Buy as many as you’ll use in a week.

How long does it take to cook the potato?

Only about 45 minutes! Just about the time it takes to put together a few wonderful eats to serve alongside!

You’ll definitely want to make a double batch of these potatoes. Leftover potatoes are great for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Adding leftover potatoes to a quiche, frittata or breakfast casserole is a great way to stretch out a meal and adding additional flavor and texture.

We love hash and with all the seasoning that is on these potatoes would be a perfect addition. The only question you’ll need to ask yourself is do you like your eggs over-easy or sunny side up? 😀

Make it a Meal!

  • You can never beat a fall off the bone rack of Smoked Ribs.
  • Go the traditional route and make this juicy Smoked Meatloaf. You’ll never make it another way.
  • Pair it with these easy Smoked Vegetables that are seasoned and smoked.

    These were delicious!! Great recipe! Thanks for sharing this. I felt like the taste was even better when I dashed some salt when I ate the potato. I’d like to put salt in the actual recipe next time. How much salt would you recommend adding? 1/4 Teaspoon? 1/2 Teaspoon? Thanks again!!

    Salt?
    Roasting would add salt, baking would not. Do these come out more like baked potatoes?

      You can add salt if you’d like. These do turn out more like a baked potato in my opinion.

      You can also bake them in the oven at the same temp and time!

    I smoked them for 3.5 hours at 225 degrees and had to microwave them to finish them: Why?

      I’m not sure, did you use creamer potatoes? Maybe your potatoes were a bit bigger than the ones I used?

      Yes you can but just be aware it is tough to remove the “smoke” flavor from a pan once it’s been in the smoker.

    Can you use baby Yukon potatoes instead of the creamer ones??

    Do you cover the potatoes while they are cooking on grill/smoker?

      No, keeping them uncovered enhances the smoke flavor!

    The title of the recipe says “smoker”, but the directions say “grill”. Is this recipe for smoked potatoes or grilled potatoes? I have a pellet smoker, but not a pellet grill and don’t know the difference it makes when cooking. Thanks

      Hi Lee – A pellet grill and a pellet smoker are one in the same, the terms can be used interchangeably. You should be fine to follow these directions with your pellet smoker!

      I’d do it about 350 degrees F and my best guess is around 30 minutes, but I haven’t tested it!

    What’s your thoughts on cooking this longer at a lower temperature, say 225, so it can be paired with something else on the smoker?

      It will work fine just make sure you add some cooking time to it!
