earlier today we gave this recipe for Smoked Baked Potatoes ===> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcYg1wy4ehw a try in our new smoker .... simple to prepare and frankly, I was skeptical but I ended up pleasantly surprised .... used a wireless temp monitor to keep an eye on their process, target temp 205 degrees .... we have a pretty good size gathering scheduled for this weekend and now plan to bake the potatoes as shown in the video

Yep - been smokin' potatoes for a long time myself. Tried many different preparations but my favorite is to lightly scrub the potatoes with some scotchbrite in the sink to get the remaining dirt off and smooth them out a bit. Then hand rub a thin layer of butter on the spud and then sprinkle some sea salt on them. Smoke until the skin gets brown and slightly crusty and when you can just squeeze and feel the spud collapse - take out and wrap in aluminum foil and return to the smoker (mostly for the heat) and let set for about 15 minutes - turn off the fire and remove spuds and only peel the foil when ready to serve. They should be very moist but firm evenly the way through with no burned areas.

sounds good .... I've been somewhat surprised that there are a good many YouTube videos on smoking potatoes and even more on smoking corn .... I look forward to being able to give some of them a try
