Ingredients

1½ Lbs Potatoes, Diced into 1" Chunks *Note 1
2 tbsp Olive Oil
6-8 Garlic Cloves (or 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder)
½ tsp Dried Thyme
½ tsp Dried Oregano
Kosher Salt and Pepper, To Taste
1 tbsp Butter

Instructions

Preheat the smoker or grill to 225°F, set up for indirect heat.
Add the diced potatoes, olive oil, garlic, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper to a Ziploc Bag. Seal and shake to coat evenly.
Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on the kitchen counter (approx. 3') and fold in half on the long end (so it ends up more square in shape than rectangular). Spray the aluminum foil liberally with non-stick cooking spray. Add the potatoes and 2 tablespoons of water to the center of the foil. Top the potatoes with the pat butter. Pull up the two short ends of the foil so they meet above the potatoes and fold down to close. Next, fold up the two sides so you have an enclosed foil pouch.
Using a sharp knife, add 6-8 air holes on the top of the aluminum foil to the let the steam out and the smoke in! If you skip this step, there will be no smoke flavor.
Transfer the aluminum foil packet to the indirect heat side of the smoker and smoke for 75 minutes. Gently poke a fork through the top of the foil to pierce a potato. Keep smoking in 15 minute increments, until your desired firmness is reached. Total cooking time depends on the size of your potatoes.
Remove from the grill, carefully open while wearing gloves (it will steam) and serve immediately for best texture.
