The Secret to Flavorful Brisket Potato Skins

Smoked potatoes are the secret weapon behind these Brisket Potato Skins. The smoking process infuses the potatoes with a rich, smoky flavor that perfectly complements the savory brisket and toppings. When you smoke the potatoes until they're tender, you get that ideal balance of creamy inside and crispy skin. This texture is key for holding up all that delicious filling of cheddar cheese, chopped brisket, and BBQ sauce. The smoky potatoes serve as a solid base, enhancing each bite with flavor that pairs perfectly with the tangy pickles and red onions. These smoked potatoes take your potato skins to a whole new level, making them a must-try for any barbecue lover.

Pairing Suggestions for Brisket Potato Skins

Brisket Potato Skins are not only delicious on their own but also pair wonderfully with a variety of sides and drinks to elevate your snacking experience.

The Brisket Potato Skins are a hearty and satisfying dish combining smoky brisket and crispy potato skins. Made on the Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800, these potato skins are first cooked until tender, then seasoned and smoked for a perfectly crisp texture. They’re filled with shredded cheddar and chopped brisket, then topped with BBQ sauce, pickles, and red onions for a mix of savory, tangy, and smoky flavors. It's a perfect snack or appetizer that pairs well with a cold beer and good company.

Instructions

  1. 01

    Preheat smoker or oven to 400F - using an oven at this step will not modify the flavor or length of the cook

  2. 02

    Wash your potatoes well, then using a fork, poke holes in potatoes - about 4 on each side will do well - this will prevent the potatoes from breaking open

  3. 03

    Wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil

  4. 04

    Place wrapped potatoes into a preheated smoker or oven and cook for 1 hour

  5. 05

    Once they are done, remove them and let them cool until they are able to handle, slice potatoes lengthwise to split them into 2 parts

  6. 06

    Scoop out the middle of the potato with a spoon and save or discard potatoes

  7. 07

    Liberally apply olive oil to the entire potato, and season with BBQ rub

  8. 08

    Place back in the smoker for 15-20 minutes until the skin on potatoes becomes lightly crispy, but is showing no signs of burning

  9. 09

    Fill potato canoes with about 3/4 of a TBSP of shredded cheddar cheese, and about 1 TBSP of chopped brisket

  10. 10

    Bake for 5-7 minutes to melt cheese

  11. 11

    Remove and let cool for 10 minutes. Add your favorite BBQ Sauce, chopped pickles, and red onions.

  12. 12

    Slice in half again if desired, and serve!

MASTER IT.

There's an app for that.
