I was reading a recipe for a Spanish potato salad that the headline "advertised" as smoked. As I read through the article, I realized the only smoked ingredient was the paprika. That got me to thinking about whether you could ever smoke potatoes -- either whole or in cubes -- and then use in a salad. It seems to me the smoking might make them develop a skin and they would perhaps not have a good mouth feel when eating. Or allow any dressing to penetrate.
Has anyone ever smoked potatoes? If so, how did it turn out? Ever make a cold potato salad with them?

I used some leftover baked potatoes that had been cooked in the pellet grill. They had, reasonably smokey flavor... I didn't really like the overall flavor of the potato salad.
Maybe if a special dressing was applied?

I have smoked potatoes before and quite enjoy them. I usually cut them in small squares and microwave to get them tender and then mix with some olive oil and spices. Cook for about 30-60 minutes on the smoker.

Do they turn dark? .... You cube potatoes and don't put them in water they start to turn. Does microwaving them negate that?

I don't recall having that issue as they are pretty cooked by the time they hit the pit. I also leave the skin on them too.
