Angie’s Notes
- While I wouldn’t recommend using liquid smoke instead of smoking – I find the flavor very fake and overpowering
- Should you choose to use liquid smoke, start with 1 drop, mix well and taste. Add 1 drop at a time so you don’t overpower the salad
- Try different spices – celery, paprika, curry, or cajun
- My salad is very basic as I don’t like many foods, but you could add hard boiled eggs, celery, or onion
Why I Love This Smoked Potato Salad
To start, smoked potato salad is a great way to use smoked potatoes. Buying a smoker was the best decision I’ve made in a long time. I bought mine used, but it had good bones but needed work. Upgrades I made include a new power cord & electric heating element. All in, it was still cheaper than buying a new smoker.
When I first turned the smoker on, I tried potatoes so I could get a feel for how the smoker works. I highly recommend starting with potatoes. Eating them uncooked won’t make you sick, they are cheaper than meat, and you can experiment easily with flavors & temperatures.

The Best Way To Mix Smoked Potato Salad
Angie’s favorite way to mix potato salad is to toss everything in a bag and gently shake it. The key word is gently – I lightly toss the bag back and forth – no aggressive hands! In order to toss, make sure you zip the bag and leave the air in it, otherwise, the bag will be flat and it won’t mix. Mixing in a bag saves a mixing bowl as well as a storage bowl.
Honestly, smoked potato salad doesn’t last long in my house, so if I can save a dish (or 2) I’m all in!
