Anyone ever do "baked" potatoes in the WSM ? Im doing a small pork loin tonight and tought Id throw some bakers in...Any thoughts ?
K Kruger said:If you want a baked potato skip the foil. Stick them in the coals and rotate periodically. Pierce once with fork when they're almost done. The skins will blacked and carbonize and be inedible (so servem on a side plate) but the interior will be light and flaky and very flavorful. Sweet potatoes are great cooked in coals too. For edible skin cook them up on the grate (they'll take longer unless you're doing a high hat cook).
I like them cooked in foil (I oil/butter/season like Dale) but potatoes cooked in foil don't really bake, they steam.

Then fire up your 1TG to 375* and cook indirect for 1 hr. :!:[/quote:2sa1tpac]Finney said:Larry Wolfe said:[quote="K Kruger":2sa1tpac]If you want a baked potato skip the foil.

What's the point in eating a baked potato if you can't eat the skin? That's the best part! #-o
