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!
