HOW TO USE A STOVE-TOP SMOKER

Steps:

• Read through the recipe carefully before you start. Some recipes require seasoning or marinating the food in advance; other recipes suggest you brine the food or take them to room temperature before smoking.
• Make sure the smoker parts are clean and dry before you start.
• Sprinkle the amount and type of wood chip you have chosen over the center of the bottom of the smoker, covering an area roughly the size of your burner.
• Put the drip pan in place. Always line the drip pan with a single layer of aluminum foil. This cuts cleanup time in half.
• Arrange whatever item(s) you are smoking on the rack. Newer smoker models have nonstick racks; older racks should be sprayed with vegetable cooking spray to prevent sticking and make for easier clean up.
• Be sure to leave space between items on the rack and between the food and the sides of the smoker.
• Close the lid about two-thirds of the way and center the smoker over a burner. Turn the heat to medium.
• When you see the first signs of smoking rising from under the drip pan, close the lid securely and start timing.
• Check the food for doneness at the time suggested in the recipe. Wear oven mitts or protect your hands with sturdy pot holders, grasp the handles firmly with one hand and slide the lid off with the other. Test the food as quickly as possible (with an instant-read thermometer or other methods suggested in the recipe) and slide the lid closed quickly if it needs more cooking time.
• When the food is ready, turn off the heat and remove the lid of the smoker, unless a recipe directs you to leave it on for a specified amount of time.

SMOKED POTATOES IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat smoker to 225 F.
• Rinse and dry potatoes. Cut your potatoes in 1-inch sized cubes.
• Combine the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss to coat all the potatoes.
• Place the potatoes on some foil and fold in each side to make some handles. The foil also helps to easily transfer the potatoes to the smoker.
• Smoke the potatoes for up to 2 to 3 hours. Potatoes can be smoked alongside whatever meat you are smoking.
• Potatoes are done when they can be pierced easily to the center.

SMOKED MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put 1 gallon of water in six-quart stockpot, add 1 tablespoon salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water.
• Smoke potatoes to taste in a smoker, according to manufacturer's instructions. If you do not have a smoker, set a 13-by-16-inch aluminum roasting pan with a rack on the stove top so that it spans 2 burners. Scatter 2 tablespoons ground hickory, apple or cherry wood chips (designed for stove-top smokers) evenly in pan. Lay a double thickness of aluminum foil over rack, and crimp any overhanging foil around edges. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on foil. Cover pan tightly with 2 sheets of aluminum foil laid side by side, if necessary. Turn both burners to medium-low, and smoke potatoes for 15 minutes.
• Transfer potatoes to a large bowl, and mash them with a fork or pass them through a ricer or food mill. Add 1 teaspoon salt, butter, cream and 1/2 cup potato cooking water, whip until thoroughly combined. Add more cooking water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until potatoes reach a smooth, fluffy consistency. Season with salt and ground pepper to taste.

GARLIC HERB SKILLET POTATOES

Steps:

• Melt the butter and heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange the potato slices across the bottom of the skillet in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 5 minutes, or until the potatoes have begun to brown on the bottom.
• Sprinkle potato slices with rosemary, thyme, oregano, parsley, and paprika. Turn the potatoes, and continue cooking 5 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat, and sprinkle the garlic and cayenne over the potatoes. Lightly toss for about 1 minute, until the garlic has softened.

STOVE-TOP "ROASTED" RED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes well, and slice into good bite-sized pieces. Put them into a glass microwave safe bowl, and microwave for 8 minutes.
• Remove from microwave and allow to cool for a few minutes.
• Heat a skillet onto medium heat and add the butter. Sautee the potatoes and add the seasonings to taste. Cook for about 6-8 minutes and the potatoes are softened and browned.
• Try olive oil.
