Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) using wood chips of your choice, such as hickory, mesquite, or applewood.
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil to coat evenly.
Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat.
Place the seasoned potatoes directly onto the smoker's grates or on a smoker-safe tray. Arrange them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Smoke the potatoes at 225°F (107°C) for about 1 hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. For extra crispy skins, you can increase the temperature to 375°F (190°C) during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Carefully remove the smoked potatoes from the smoker and transfer them to a serving dish.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful smoked potatoes as a side dish or snack!
