Using these potatoes as your replacement for fries to accompany wings, burgers, or even a smoked hot dog. I would also serve them with anything else you are planning to smoke or grill like this bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin. We served our smoked cheesy potatoes with pellet grill ribs. You can cook these alongside jalapeno poppers in your smoker. But as an accompaniment to a bbq meal, having the ability to pick up and eat it like a rib or a chicken wing, makes service and presentation easy. When you look at the list of ingredients, it looks deliciously close to ingredients for a cheesy potato casserole. The tang of sour cream is always a nice contrast to the other ingredients. Toppings - Top with sour cream, chives, and bacon before serving. Sweet Potatoes - If you want to make this with sweet potatoes I recommend using just cream cheese to fill them and then sprinkling with cinnamon when they are done. Green Onions - Finely slice some scallions and mix them into the cream cheese filling before adding it to the potatoes. Everything is better with bacon including these smoked potatoes. In about 40 minutes total you have perfect baked potatoes without heating up the kitchen.īacon - Mix some crumbled bacon into the cream cheese and crumble some more on top. Set for manual high pressure for 15 minutes. I do poke my potatoes with a fork so they can release steam and not split. Simply add 1 cup of water and the rack to the instant pot. It has been my go-to anytime we want potatoes for dinner. If you are going to use a softer cheese like brie instead of our combination of cheeses, I would recommend adding the cheese ten minutes prior to the end of cooking so that it doesn't all completely melt off and away. You could also opt for using foil or a disposable tray like I did to avoid cheese drippings on the smoker. If you have slices of cheese, I would break them in half so that the excess doesn't drip all over your smoker. Using shredded cheese makes for an easy application to each potato. We used a blend of cheeses but if all you have is sharp cheddar cheese, go for that. Step Four: Turn up the heat so the cheese on top of the potatoes browns. We chose to cook them on a disposable aluminum tray for easier cleanup. Step Three: Add the potatoes to the smoker. Sprinkle with the additional shredded cheese. Step Two: Mix together the cheese filling and divide it between the potato skins. We typically make it into home fries or hash browns for breakfast. Sprinkle the hollowed potatoes with garlic salt. Step One: Half the cooked potatoes and hollow out the insides. It is a great basic seasoned salt to always keep on hand. Garlic Salt - this is a standard in our kitchen. Alternatively, you can use rosemary or thyme. Parsley - I used dried parsley but fresh would also work. Parmesan - I do recommend using a hard salty cheese such as parmesan or romano. As long as you have a nice assortment of shredded cheeses in a total of 6 ounces you can use any that you desire. Other good alternatives are goat cheese, mascarpone, or ricotta.Ĭheddar, Monterey Jack, Gouda, and Mozzarella Cheese - I just used what I had in the fridge. I cook them in my instant pot but you can also bake them or even microwave them.Ĭream Cheese - you need a soft creamy cheese and the binder for this. Potatoes - in order for this recipe to work you will need to cook the potatoes first. If you don't want to get so fancy as smoked cheesy potatoes, you could always just do a baked potato on the smoker and keep it simple and just serve with sour cream and chives. I find it is easy to do this when I use my Traeger pellet grill, but any other smoker, propane, or a stick burner will get this done as long as you can maintain a low constant temperature. I love making smoked side dishes, because you can get your smoker going for the protein, and then with figuring out the timing of the sides, cook them as you go so that when the main course is done, all your sides are ready at the same time. Cheesy smoked potatoes perfectly seasoned and stuffed with 6 different types of cheese were the best potato I have ever eaten. These Smoked Cheesy Potatoes hit all the best flavor notes. ![]()
