Ingredients
- 4 whole russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
- 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup Ultimate Dry Rub
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablesoons chives, finely diced
- 3 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
Instructions
- Prepare smoker targeting 250 degrees Fahrenheit using a fruit wood, like apple or cherry.
- Gently poke six holes into each potato and then coat with olive oil. Liberally apply the dry rub and place on the smoker uncovered (meaning not wrapped in foil).

Notes
Buying Russets: Weigh them and try to buy the same size as much as possible. The weight of each potato we used for testing this recipe averaged 8-12 oz.
It should take 3 hours for an average large russet potato
