Description
These Traeger Smoked Baked Potatoes are coated in butter and salt, then smoked until they're perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They're super hands-off and easy, and a perfect vessel for all of your favorite loaded potato toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
6 large russet potatoes
1 tablespoon salt, divided
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided
Instructions
- Preheat your Traeger or pellet grill to 425°F.
- Run your potatoes under cold water and scrub with your hands to remove any dirt. Then dry them with a towel and poke each side of the potatoes several times with a fork.
- Place your potatoes directly on the grill grates of your Traeger or pellet grill. Use a basting brush to brush on half of the butter. Then sprinkle the potatoes with half of the salt. Close the lid and cook for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, flip your potatoes and top with the remainder of the butter and salt. Then cook for an additional 20 minutes.
- Remove your potatoes from the grill and top with your favorite toppings or serve with butter, salt, and pepper.
Notes
Nutritional information is only an estimate.
If you don't have a basting brush, a paper towel can be used. Just dip the edge in a little bit of the butter, then rub it onto the potatoes.
We prefer a high-quality grass-fed butter and sea salt for this recipe.
