2tablespoonOlive Oil
2tablespoonKosher Salt
4tablespoonButter
1CupShredded Cheddar Cheeseoptional
½CupSour Creamoptional
Chivesminced, optional to sprinkle
Instructions
Prepare the Grill or Smoker
Preheat the smoker, or grill setup for indirect cooking, to 225°F. If using a pellet grill, load the hopper with your chosen pellets, turn on the grill, and set the temperature for 225°F.
Once the grill or smoker is near its temperature, add your wood chips, wood chunks, or pellets into a pellet tube smoker and place over the direct heat and close the lid.
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce holes with a fork in several places on each potato.
4 Russet Potatoes
Rub the potatoes with the olive oil and sprinkle with Kosher salt
2 tablespoon Olive Oil, 2 tablespoon Kosher Salt
Smoke the "Baked" Potatoes
Once the grill or smoker is up to 225°F and producing smoke, oil the grates and place the oiled and salted raw whole potatoes into the smoker, or on the cool side of the grill. Close the door or lid.
Smoke for about 2 hours and rotate the positions of the potatoes as neccessary for even cooking.
After 2 hours check for doneness by piercing with a fork to see if the times slide in and out easily. Or, use an instant thermometer and once the smoked baked potatoes reach 205°F internally remove them from the smoker or grill.
Cool the potato slightly and cut in half.
Top with butter, shredded cheese, sour cream and chives.
4 tablespoon Butter, 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese, ½ Cup Sour Cream, Chives
