Step 1

Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees. This temperature is ideal for smoking prime rib, as it will allow the meat to cook slowly and evenly, while also developing a smoky flavor.

Step 2

Take the prime rib out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will allow the meat to warm up slightly and cook more evenly when it's in the smoker.

Step 3

Once the smoker has reached the desired temperature, it's time to season the prime rib. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Rub this seasoning all over the prime rib, making sure to cover every inch of the meat.

Step 4

Next, slather the seasoned prime rib with cooking oil. This will help to keep the meat moist while it's cooking, and also help to develop a crisp crust on the outside

Step 5

Place the seasoned and oiled prime rib in the smoker and close the lid. Let it smoke for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat, inserting it into the thickest part of the roast.

Step 6

While the prime rib is smoking, you can start preparing the golden potato fries. Cut the potatoes into thin, even slices using a sharp knife or a french fry cutter. Rinse the sliced potatoes in cold water to remove any excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 7

In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the potato slayer seasoning until they are evenly coated. This will help to add flavor to the fries and make them crispy when they're fried.

Step 8

Heat up a large pot of oil to 350 degrees. You can use a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot on the stove. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the seasoned fries into the pot and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 9

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. This will help to remove any excess oil and keep the fries crispy.

Step 10

After about 30 minutes, take the prime rib out of the smoker and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and juicy when you slice it.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, slice the prime rib into thin slices, cutting against the grain. This will make the slices easier to chew and more flavorful.

Step 12

Serve the sliced prime rib with the golden potato fries and a generous dollop of chimichurri sauce on the side. Chimichurri is a flavorful herb-based sauce that complements the smoky flavor of the prime rib and adds a tangy, fresh taste to the meal.

Step 13

Enjoy your delicious and flavorful meal! Smoked prime rib and golden potato fries are a perfect combination of savory and crispy, and are sure to impress your friends and family.
