Smoked Taters Recipes

CANDI'S SMOKED MASHED TATERS

Steps:

• Peel, dice and boil potatoes. dice all veggies and saute in a bit of butter or oil until soft (regular old garlic works, I use my smoked or roasted garlic for this)
• add 1 stick of butter, veggies and potatoes and mash. Add milk (or cream) until you reach your desired consistency.
• Place in pan, add a few pads of butter, smoke for about 10-15 minutes, stir potatoes, smoke for another 10-15 minutes. Serve with or without gravy! (I didn't put a degree here because I keep these at the edge of the smoker, no direct heat, they are simply on the smoker to infuse the smoke flavor)

SMOKED TATERS

Steps:

• Fire up your smoker and do your normal smoking of what ever your main course is.
• 45 minutes before your entree is done, place the potatoes on a wire rack that has been brushed with oil. Be sure they are in a single layer.
• Put the rack in the smoker alongside the entree.
• When your main is done, the potatoes will have a light, earthy smoke flavor and should be cooked through.
• How done you want them is a judgment call on your part. It's according to taste. Same thing goes for the amount of smoke you put on the vegetables.
