Smoked Potatoes
This idea stems from Jason. He was making ribs one night and decided that he was going to make cheesy potatoes to go with them.
Obviously, he wasn’t about to make them in the oven!
Instead he made them on the smoker and the were divine.
Might I say they were even better leftover because the next day the smoked flavor really came out in them. Love leftovers that are better than the first time!

I absolutely love the original version of these potatoes and I know smoking them will be such a great twist!! Thank you for a great recipe!
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy it!
For the record, I also love these cheesy potatoes, whether or not others are searching for them! You were right to post the recipe!
Sometimes you just have to pave your own way 😉
This has great flavors! I love how it is smoked!
We do too!
This is so easy!! Can’t wait to try it!
Hope you guys love it!
Can you make it without the cornflakes?
Yes it just won’t have the crunch topping! You could also use Rice Krispies or something similar!
I too have made this recipe for years and everyone loves it. I can’t wait to try on the Traeger. We add bacon to the casserole and top with French fried onions, you’ll have to give that a try it’s amazing. Thanks for posting this!
I have made it with the fried onions before but neve with bacon or smoked. I’m smoking baby back ribs right now and I think I’m going to smoke these potatoes with it.
I have made it with the fried onions before but never with bacon or smoked. I’m smoking baby back ribs right now and I think I’m going to smoke these potatoes with it. Can’t wait to taste it!
Do u cook bacon before putting it in casserole?
I haven’t did it like this but I would recommend that.
Sounds amazing Virginia!
How long should it take at 225? I will have meat and sides all going at 225. I thinking 2 or 3 hours.
I haven’t tested it at a lower temp but I would assume somewhere between 2-3 hours as well. Hope it goes well!
Awesome recipe, thank you for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it! You’re welcome!
Am I missing something in the recipe I didn’t see any amounts for any ingredients.
The measurements are on the recipe card at the bottom of the blog post.
