Description
These Smoked Baked Potatoes cook to perfection on the Traeger Pellet Grill. They only take a few minutes to prep, then smoke on high for a little over an hour until tender.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1-2 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
- Turn the smoker to high heat (450 degrees) and preheat. Make sure the pellets are full.
- Prepare 4 squares of tin foil to wrap each potato. Brush melted butter over potato and sprinkle entire surface with salt.
- Tightly wrap the potato in foil so the butter doesn't leak out. Repeat with all 4 potatoes.
- Place the foil wrapped potatoes on the smoker and close quickly to prevent big temperature drops. Smoke for 60-70 minutes until the potatoes are tender all the way through. Test with a fork if needed.
- Allow the potatoes to cool for 5-10 minutes. Unwrap and sprinkle with additional salt if desired.
- Top with bacon, sour cream, butter, green onion, and cheese or whatever your favorite baked potato toppings are. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Fill the pellet box full of pellets prior to starting the smoker so it doesn't run out midway through smoking the baked potatoes.
- Wrap the potatoes well in foil to avoid the butter from leaking out into the smoker, and place open side up on the smoker grates.
- The temperature of the smoker may range from 400-450 degrees during cook time. If it's closer to 400 most of the time, keep the potatoes on the smoker for 70 minutes.
- Allow the potatoes to cool for a few minutes on a cookie sheet before opening.
