Smokey Boats

I made these tasty potatoe boats the other day when I was smoking a ham. You do need to have a smoker and a deep fryer for this recipe.

Ingredients:
6 large baker potatoes
Bacon
Shredded cheese of choice
Fresh chives (optional)
Sour cream (optional)
Salsa (optional)

I poked a couple of holes in the spuds and put them on the top rack of my smoker and let smoke for 2 hours at 225f.

Remove from smoker and cut in half lenghth-wise. Using an icecream scoop, scoop out the centers of the potatoes forming a dugout canoe looking thing. You want to keep 1/4 to 1/2 " of potatoe from the sides.

Deep fry for 7-10 minutes at 375f. Remove and drain well.

Fry bacon to a crisp and crumble on top of the boats. Add chease and pop back into the smoker for 10 minutes.

Remove, top with sour cream / chives or salsa and serve.

we call those potato skins on this side of the 49th.
We call them skins here too, I think he gave them a creative name because they are smoked.
