I have posted this before, and it is well worth posting again. These are excellent. I showed SmokyOkie how to do them.
There are those out there who have done these who will testify.
Smoked Potatoes
These are basically smoked potatoes with an herb and spice rub. Sounds like barbecue to me.
INGREDIENTS:
•8 baking potatoes (Yukon gold's are good for this)
•1 cup bacon grease, softened, not melted
•
HERB MIX:
•2 tablespoons ground sage
•2 tablespoons granulated garlic
•2 tablespoons dried parsley
•2 tablespoons salt
•2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
•2 tablespoons sugar
•2 tablespoons paprika
PREPARATION:
Wash and dry potatoes. Rub warm, soft bacon grease into the skin of each potato, covering completely. Mix the herbs together; roll each potato in herb mixture, making sure to cover completely. Puncture each potato several times. Place on hot grill in a smoker, and smoke for 1 hour at 250 deg, turning once. Remove potato and wrap each in double layer of heavy duty aluminum foil. Seal the foil and place back in smoker for another 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until soft when poked.
I do not foil the potatoes because I like a crunchy skin. See, I eat the skin.
