Calories: 504kcal
Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes medium sized, washed and dried
- 1/4 c. butter melted
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 Tbsp chopped chives
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start smoker and set it to 350 degrees F. We used Kingsford Signature Wood Pellets which is a blend of hickory, oak and cherry.
- Cut each potato so there are about 8 slices, making sure not to cut through the bottom of the potato. We recommend placing chopsticks on each side of the potato so you can’t cut all the way through it.
- Place each potato onto the center an heavy duty aluminum foil sheet about 14” x 12”.
- Combine melted butter and garlic in small bowl and brush it on potatoes making sure to get in the slices.
- Wrap up foil around potato and place on the smoker for about 40 minutes or until fork tender.
- Remove from smoked, cut each piece of cheese into about 8 slices and place in the slices of potato. Place back on the smoker to melt, without wrapping the foil around them.
- Take off of smoker and sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure your potatoes are of similar size so they cook at the same rate.
