Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons smoked beef tallow *Or substitute olive oil, avocado oil, or duck fat
- all-purpose seasoning, or a blend of coarse kosher salt and black pepper *We used Shake That All Purpose Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat pellet grill or smoker to 250-275 degrees F. *I had my smoker set on 265 degrees F.
- Scrub the potatoes under running water and pat dry. Use a fork to pierce the skins of the potatoes a few times.
- Coat the dried potatoes in a thin layer of beef tallow or oil. Liberally sprinkle all sides of the oiled potatoes with all-purpose seasoning or salt and pepper blend.
- Place potatoes directly on the grill grates, close the grill lid, and smoke for about 2 hours. Potatoes are done when they are fork tender and soft when you squeeze them, or when an internal thermometer reads 205-210 degrees F.
- Carefully remove the smoked potatoes from the grill, and serve with your favorite baked potato toppings.
Notes
- We prefer the stronger smoky flavor of hickory wood pellets or a good competition blend for this recipe, but any pellets will work.
