Equipment
- Pellets
- Potato masher or potato ricer or electric mixer
Ingredients
- 2 pounds gold potatoes
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Peel and cut the potatoes into 2-inch chunks.
- Boil the potatoes and the garlic in salted water until they're very fork tender but not falling apart. About 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and garlic and return them to the hot pot.
- Meanwhile, warm the milk and cream in the microwave or in a pan on the stovetop.
- Mash the potatoes then mix in the butter and as much of the cream/milk mixture as you like to get the potatoes nice and creamy and fluffy.
- Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the mashed potatoes to a smoker-safe shallow dish.
- Smoke at 225-F for about 30-45 minutes. You can smoke them at a higher temp but they won't be as smoky. For the best results, smoke them at 180-F or on super smoke for 30 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- The more surface area your mashed potatoes get, the more smoke flavor they'll absorb. Use a skillet, shallow baking dish, or wide casserole pan when smoking the potatoes for maximum flavor.
- Sliced green onions or chopped chives or parsley add a pop of flavor, freshness and color to this Smoked Mashed Potato recipe.
- Don't want all the fat from heavy cream? You can use all milk, instead.
