Baked Potatoes

While you are smoking the fish, ribs or whatever, why not throw in a couple of potatoes for an excellent side dish. This is so easy. Wash the outside of the potatoes so you will be able to eat the peel. Vent the potatoes by puncturing them a couple of times with a fork. Wrap the potatoes with foil while adding a bit of salt. Cook in the smoker with your meat for 2 to 3 hours. If I’m cooking something for four hours, I will insert the foil wrapped potatoes after an hour or two so they will be done the same time as the meat. You can dress up the potatoes as you desire, but my standard preparation is: Butter, sour cream, cheese, and bacon bits. I should start adding olives as well.
