Equipment

pellet grill smoker
sheet pan
vegetable brush
cast iron skillet (optional serving dish)
cutting board

Ingredients

4.5 pounds baby yellow potatoes (slice half of baby potatoes, leave other half whole)
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon burger seasoning
1 teaspoon steak seasoning

Instructions

Scrub baby potatoes with a vegetable brush under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
4.5 pounds baby yellow potatoes
Place potatoes on a large half-size sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil.
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Sprinkle potatoes with burger and steak seasoning. Use hands to mix potatoes with oil and seasonings.
1 teaspoon burger seasoning, 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
Preheat smoker to 225 degrees. Place sheet pan filled with potatoes in smoker. Do not cover.
Smoke spuds for 2 hours, or until they are fork tender and golden brown on the edges. If potatoes are not crispy on the edges after 2 hours, crank up the heat to 350 degrees and cook until crispy (about 15 minutes or so).
Stir frequently to prevent scorching, at least every 15 minutes.
Serve straight from the sheet pan, or transfer potatoes to a cast iron skillet if desired. The skillet will also keep the potatoes warm if waiting on other food to finish cooking.

Notes

All smokers cook differently, so adjust the temp and time on your machine if needed.
If you don't have burger or steak seasoning, you can use good old salt and pepper! You can also add flavor with other seasonings like dried oregano, rosemary, onion powder and garlic powder.
If you don't have a smoker, these potatoes can be baked in the oven at the same time and temperature without the smoky flavor. Or, you can cook them on a grill with moistened wood chips.
