We chose these potatoes because they are easy to make with almost no hassle. This recipe takes almost no time to prepare. And the cook time is a lot shorter as well. Also, the baby potatoes are the perfect size and have a delicious, velvety texture you don’t usually get from full-sized potatoes. And there is something so satisfying about smooshing these little potatoes with the bottom of a glass while they are hot and steamy.

We loved, loved, loved these smoked baby potatoes. And the process is so simple. Just follow the recipe and get ready for one of the easiest sides you will ever make. Crispy, creamy, smoked–we could not wait to dig in!
