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!

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? 😀
