## Ingredients

- as many New Potatoes as you think you'll need
- Vegetable oil
- salt, pepper
- and a smoker

## Method

1. Boil new potatoes until fork-tender (15-20 min) then drain
2. smash them on a sheet tray to break them slightly. The fluffy bits go crispy.
3. Coat them in oil/fat (e.g. drizzle in vegetable oil) and seasoning (salt, pepper)
4. roast in the oven at 220°C for 20-25 minutes until the edges are crispy and golden.
5. Transfer to the smoker at 110-130°C for 20-30 minutes to pick up smoke flavour. The already-crisped surfaces absorb smoke well. Going longer than 30 minutes risks drying them out or making the smoke flavour acrid.
