Traeger Smoked Baked Potatoes
Listen, once you bake potatoes on the Traeger, the oven starts feeling real optional. The skins get lightly crisp, the inside stays fluffy, and that hint of smoke makes them taste like they belong next to something coming off the pit. I’ve been cooking on my Traeger for years, and this is one of the easiest ways to make a basic potato feel like it showed up dressed for the occasion.
