Recipe Tips

To save time, you can cook the potatoes in the oven instead of the smoker or grill. Preheat your oven to 400°F and bake the potatoes for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until they are tender and lightly browned. Make sure to let the potato salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead, but use half the amount of dried herbs as fresh.
