Smoked Mashed Sweet Potatoes

We fuel our smoker with applewood and oak, a combination we find subtler than the hickory we use at B-Side, our barbecue joint. It’s perfect for these sweet potatoes. We discovered through trial and error that 13 minutes is just the right amount of time to give the potatoes a gentle smoky taste that doesn’t mask their natural sweetness. You’ll be amazed at how easy the smoking process is and how much flavor it adds to this simple dish.
