Smoked Potatoes (Smoker, Grill, or Campfire)
These Smoked Potatoes are so easy to prepare, customizable, and they make the perfect side dish to all of your Summer dinners. These foil packs can be prepared on the smoker, grill, or over the campfire.
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 2 hours hrs
- 1 1/2 lbs. potatoes
- 4 tbsp. butter
- 4 cloves of garlic minced
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 green pepper sliced or chopped
- 1/2 onion slicked
- olive oil
- 3 tbsp water
- cheese optional
Wash up your potatoes and cut them into thinner slices (about 1/4 inch). The thinner they are the faster they will cook.
Lay a few pieces of foil down. I like one to do in one direction and then one in the other. Here I made 2 different packets.
In one add in half the sliced potatoes, half the garlic, 2 tbsp butter, salt & pepper, green pepper, onions, a little drizzle of olive oil, and about 1 1/2 tbsp water to help the potatoes steam.
In the other packet- add in the rest of the potatoes, butter, garlic, salt & pepper, drizzle of olive oil, and about 1 1/2 tbsp water.
Wrap the foil up and around the potatoes and seal completely.
Add the foil packets right to the smoker grates and smoke at 225 F for 1 hour then you can raise the temperature to 250 F for another hour or so (until fork tender).
If you are adding cheese, add the cheese in and let melt for a few minutes longer.
