Equipment

  • Pellet smoker

Ingredients
  

  • Yukon Gold Potatoes 2.2 lbs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp Kosher salt
  • 2 strips Diced bacon
  • 1/2 cup Cheese
  • 1/3 cup Sour cream
  • 3 whole Green onions

Instructions
 

Step 1 - Fry the Bacon Off

  • Slice your green onions.
  • Set aside.
  • Dice up bacon.
  • Fry up the bacon in your cast iron skillet (or whatever pan you are going to use for smoking the potatoes).
  • Set aside bacon.
  • We'll use this same pan later to spread the mashed potatoes on.

Step 2- Cook the Potatoes

  • Dice up potatoes and place into a pot filled with cold salted water (2 tbsp salt).
  • Bring to boil for 15-20 minutes until fork tender.
  • Strain, and place back into the pot.

Step 3 - Mash the Potatoes

  • Mash the potatoes.
  • Use a potato ricer for a smoother consistency if you have one. Otherwise just use a regular potato masher.

Step 4 - Add Seasonings

  • Add heavy cream, butter, and 1/2 tsp salt to the pot and continue mashing until no lumps, and smooth consistency.
  • Stir in some of the green onions into the mash, about 1/4 cup.

Step 5 - Prepare the Mash

  • Spread out the mashed potatoes onto your cast iron pan.
  • Top with cheese.

Step 6 - Smoke the Potatoes

  • Smoke at 275F-300F for 1 hour until cheese is golden brown.
  • Serve with sour cream, bacon bits, green onions, and more cheese
