| Anyone made smoked potato salad? Posted by LSUDav7 Mixing it up for Easter. TIA on 4/7 at 9:30 amReply • Back to Top |
How do you plan on smoking a potato? The skin of it will act as barrier to the influence of the flavor of the smoke, the interior of the spud won't feel a thing. If making a salad of spuds, I would go the route of boiling them with a bit of liquid smoke in the water. ETA this product will in all likelihood taste like shite.

| I've done something along those lines. Anytime you can make potato salad when the potaoes are hot they absorb whatever you put on them much better. Reply • Back to Top |
| Have you ever smoked kosher salt and used it as seasoning? I make some once or twice a year and use it to give foods a smoked flavor without having to setup the smoker. I take a baking pan and put a layer of kosher salt. Put it on the top rack of my smoker while I'm cooking other food. I usually leave it in for a few hours. Using this might be a better alternative that would give your potato salad a more balanced taste. But I'm with CITWTT, it doesn't seem appetizing to me. Let us know how it turns out.

| I have made grilled baked potato salad before and it did in fact get some flavor from the grill. I put them on naked with some holes poked. Worked fine. I'm sure the smoke would impart some flavor, but I also think if they get too smoky, it would ruin the flavor. Let us know the result. Reply • Back to Top |
| I put potatoes on the green egg all the time and they pick up all of the flavor. Put them on your smoker for about thirty to forty five minutes then wrap in foil for as long as it takes to finish cooking. Works very well for baked/ smoked potatoes. Never tried a potato salad. If using skin, scrub well, dry and rub butter or oil on it. Really crisps it up. I eat the skin on a baked potato. Best part. Reply • Back to Top |
| I par-boiled the potatoes, then smoked them for a while at 225-275. Skin got the smoke flavor nicely. Then treated it like regular potato salad, mayo, eggs, relish. Can't wait for the fam to try it tomorrow. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
