Ingredients

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream, half-and-half or whole milk
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Put 1 gallon of water in six-quart stockpot, add 1 tablespoon salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water.
Smoke potatoes to taste in a smoker, according to manufacturer's instructions. If you do not have a smoker, set a 13-by-16-inch aluminum roasting pan with a rack on the stove top so that it spans 2 burners. Scatter 2 tablespoons ground hickory, apple or cherry wood chips (designed for stove-top smokers) evenly in pan. Lay a double thickness of aluminum foil over rack, and crimp any overhanging foil around edges. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on foil. Cover pan tightly with 2 sheets of aluminum foil laid side by side, if necessary. Turn both burners to medium-low, and smoke potatoes for 15 minutes.
Transfer potatoes to a large bowl, and mash them with a fork or pass them through a ricer or food mill. Add 1 teaspoon salt, butter, cream and 1/2 cup potato cooking water, whip until thoroughly combined. Add more cooking water, 2 tablespoons at a time, until potatoes reach a smooth, fluffy consistency. Season with salt and ground pepper to taste.

I'm not sure why, but my mashed potatoes turned out a bit dry. I think I might have added too little milk.

I'm not a big fan of smoked foods, but these mashed potatoes were actually really good. The smokiness was subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These mashed potatoes were delicious! The smokiness from the paprika was the perfect touch.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my mashed potatoes turned out lumpy. I think I'll try using a ricer next time.

I had some trouble getting the potatoes to smoke evenly. Some parts were smoky and others were not.

These mashed potatoes were a bit too smoky for my taste. I think I'll try using less smoked paprika next time.

I love the idea of smoking the potatoes before mashing them. It adds a unique flavor that you don't get from traditional mashed potatoes.

I'm not a huge fan of mashed potatoes, but these smoked mashed potatoes were actually really good. The smokiness balanced out the richness of the potatoes.
