Instructions

Mashed Potato Process

• Peel and cut potatoes so all so they are about the same size. This will ensure proper doneness throughout
• Bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil and add ¼ cup of Kosher Salt
• Cook potatoes until fork tender
• Drain Potatoes and return to same pot
• Add stick of butter (sliced evenly into 8 pcs)
• Add heavy whipping cream
• Add salt and pepper mix
• With a hand mashed (not electric mixer), mash potatoes and mix thoroughly
  • Electric hand blender can cause the potatoes to get very gummy
• Allow potatoes to cool
• Scoop all potatoes into a 10” cast iron skillet
• Add 3 to 4 more thin slices of cold butter on top of potatoes

Smoking Process

• Start smoker and heat to ambient temperature of about 250 degrees
• Add smoking wood
  • I used post oak but I think either hickory or pecan would also be good
• Place skillet with potatoes on smoker for about 90 minutes or until potatoes are starting to turn golden brown on top
• Remove and serve immediately!
